Mice and Men by Madeleine Lucette Ryley (1858 - 1934)
by LibriVox
No, not the famous “Of Mice and Men” you’re thinking of. Instead, we have a sweet romantic comedy that tells the story of a bachelor, Mr. Embury, who decides to conduct an experiment to see if he can create the perfect wife for himself. To do so, he chooses an orphaned girl named Peggy to become his ward and ultimately his wife. Peggy, however, thinks that Mr. Embury has plans for her to become the wife of his nephew, Captain Lovell, whom she believes is in love with another woman . A critic who was not fond of sentimental stories called this play a fairy story with a sincere spirit and one they could actually believe in. - Summary by Jenn BrodaCast list:Mark Embury (A scholar, scientist, and philosopher): Adrian StephensRoger Goodlake (His friend and neighbour): Greg GiordanoCaptain George Lovell (His nephew): Krista ZaleskiSir Harry Trimblestone: Alan MapstoneKit Barniger (A fiddler and a professor of deportment): ToddHWPeter (Embury's servant): David PurdyJoanna Goodlake
