博客來A hilarious and insightful social satire from J. M. Barrie, ＂The Admirable Crichton＂ explores the absurdities of class differences in a most unexpected setting. When a shipwreck leaves an aristocratic British family and their unflappable butler stranded on a desert island, the established social hierarchy is turned completely upside down. What ensues is a witty and comedic examination of societal roles, natural leadership, and the surprising resilience of human nature when faced with extraordinary circumstances. This classic play, categorized under Drama and Humorous Fiction, remains a sharp and entertaining commentary on Edwardian society and the inherent contradictions within the class system. ＂The Admirable Crichton＂ is a timeless tale of survival, adaptation, and the enduring power of social dynamics, offering readers a delightful and thought-provoking theatrical experience.
