Second Plays

＂＂Second Plays＂＂ is a collection of three one-act plays by A.A. Milne, first published in 1921. The plays included in this collection are ＂＂The Boy Comes Home,＂＂ ＂＂Belinda,＂＂ and ＂＂The Red Feathers.＂＂ Each play explores different themes and features a distinct set of characters. ＂＂The Boy Comes Home＂＂ tells the story of a young man who returns home from World War I and must adjust to civilian life. ＂＂Belinda＂＂ is a comedy about a young woman who is pursued by several suitors, but ultimately finds love in an unexpected place. ＂＂The Red Feathers＂＂ is a mystery play that centers around a missing brooch and the efforts to recover it. Like much of Milne’s work, ＂＂Second Plays＂＂ is characterized by its witty dialogue and subtle humor. The plays offer a glimpse into the world of post-war England, and explore themes of love, identity, and the changing social dynamics of the time.
