520 _a"Love and Tea: A Comedy-Drama of Colonial Times in Two Acts" by Anna Phillips See is a play written in the early 20th century that captures the political and personal tensions of the American Revolutionary War period. The story unfolds in two acts, set in a comfortable village home in the New England colonies amid the conflicts arising from the independence movement. The central theme revolves around the struggle between colonial loyalty and the desire for independence, as well as the comedic yet serious implications of love and social duty. The play centers on Miss Lavinia Boltwood, a strict maiden aunt who is challenged by her niece, Betty, regarding her secret tea-drinking habits in opposition to a pledge made by local women to boycott tea and taxed goods in support of the revolution. As Betty strives to gain her aunt's approval to court the young patriot William Dickinson, Miss Boltwood wrestles with her own feelings, particularly as she navigates her relationship with Judge Ingram, a Tory whom she has historically kept waiting for her affection. The interplay between personal desires and political ideals creates both humorous and poignant moments, highlighting the complexities of love, loyalty, and the changing landscape of Revolutionary America. Ultimately, the characters grapple with their convictions, leading to unexpected revelations that pave the way for love and partnership amidst the chaos of war.
