ONE ACTS BY THE CREATOR OF PETER PAN
While J. M. Barrie is remembered as the creator of Peter Pan, he spent most of his career crafting plays laced with biting social commentary toward upper class Edwardian sensibilities. This collection of four, character-focused, one-act plays includes "Pantaloon", "The Twelve-Pound Look", "Rosalind", and "The Will," attacks women's traditional roles and the way money wears on the soul.
