Publisher's Synopsis
In Mizzoura is a play in four acts written by Augustus Thomas. The story is set in the late 1800s in the small town of Mizzoura, Missouri. The play follows the story of a young woman named Louise, who is in love with a man named Jack. However, Jack is engaged to another woman named Kitty. As the story unfolds, Louise becomes increasingly desperate to win Jack's affections and will stop at nothing to get him to marry her instead of Kitty. The play also explores themes of class, societal expectations, and the power dynamics between men and women. The characters are complex and well-developed, with each having their own motivations and desires. The dialogue is witty and engaging, with moments of humor and drama throughout. In Mizzoura was first performed in 1893 and was a critical and commercial success. It has since become a classic of American theater and is still performed today. The play is a timeless exploration of love and human nature, and a must-read for anyone interested in American drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
