Stage Land (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169209336)

""Stage Land"" is a humorous novel written by Jerome K. Jerome, the author of the famous book ""Three Men in a Boat"". The book is a witty satire on the world of theatre and its various quirks and eccentricities. The story follows the adventures of a young playwright named Tom Stylus, who is struggling to make a name for himself in the competitive world of theatre. He embarks on a journey to Stage Land, a fantastical world where all the characters and settings of his plays come to life. There, he meets a host of eccentric characters, including a melodramatic villain, a temperamental actress, and a pompous director. As he navigates this strange world, Tom learns valuable lessons about the art of theatre and the importance of staying true to oneself. With its clever wordplay and hilarious characters, ""Stage Land"" is a delightful read for anyone who loves the theatre or enjoys a good laugh.He is always cheerful and always good. We never knew a bad Irishman on the stage. Sometimes a stage Irishman seems to be a bad man--such as the ""agent"" or the ""informer""--but in these cases it invariably turns out in the end that this man was all along a Scotchman, and thus what had been a mystery becomes clear and explicable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
