Lonsdale: Plays One

A new edition preserving these witty and sophisticated society comedies written in the 1920s when Lonsdale was at the height of his popularity in the West End, Broadway and throughout the repertory circuit. The Last of Mrs. Cheney, in which the maid in a gang of burgular-servants gives up her criminal career to marry into aristocracy, is probably the best known of Lonsdale's 11 plays.
