520			_a"Mary Broome: A Comedy, in Four Acts" by Allan Monkhouse is a play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mary Broome, a housemaid whose life takes a dramatic turn when the son of her employer becomes embroiled in an unexpected romantic entanglement with her. The play delves into themes of class, responsibility, and societal expectations, highlighting the contrasts between the lives of the upper middle class and their servants. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the various characters in the setting of a suburban home, preparing for an upcoming wedding. As preparations unfold, tension arises as Edgar Timbrell expresses his concerns about his best man, Leonard, who is depicted as charming yet irresponsible. The dynamics between the characters, particularly between Mary and Leonard, unfold in a way that hints at deeper issues, as Mary later confronts Leonard about his plans and intentions, leading to a moment of honesty that challenges societal norms regarding class and familial duty. The opening sets the stage for a complex exploration of these social themes as the characters navigate their relationships and the implications of their actions.
