Publisher's Synopsis
The Masqueraders is a play written by Henry Arthur Jones in 1909. The play is divided into four acts and tells the story of a group of aristocrats who engage in a series of masquerades, or costume parties, in order to escape the boredom and monotony of their everyday lives. The central characters of the play are Lord and Lady Brummel, who are known for their extravagant parties and their love of all things fashionable. However, their lives are turned upside down when a mysterious stranger arrives on the scene, threatening to expose their secrets and bring their world crashing down around them. The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of wealth and power. It is a classic example of the ""comedy of manners"" genre, which was popular in the early 20th century and focused on the foibles and follies of the upper classes. The Masqueraders is considered one of Jones' most successful plays and has been adapted for film and television numerous times over the years.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
