{"product_id":"9781455415960","title":"Wappin' Wharf, a Frightful Comedy of Pirates","description":"Comedy, first published in 1922, by American dramatist Charles Stephen Brooks (1878-1934). The setting is the coast of Devon, England. The playwright explains: \"Several weeks ago an actor-manager requested me to try my hand at a play for the winter season. The offer was unexpected. \"My dear sir,\" I said, \"I am immensely flattered, but I have never written a play.\" Then I hastened to ask, \"What kind of play?\" for fear the offer might be withdrawn. He replied with sureness and decision. \"I want a play,\" he said, \"with lots of pirates and--no poetry.\" He stressed this with emphatic gesture. \"And at least one shooting,\" he added. It was a slim prescription. He left me to brood upon the matter. The proposal was too flattering to be rejected out of hand.”","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155120963824,"sku":"9781455415960","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455415960_p0.jpg?v=1763854926","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455415960","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
