The Londoners & the Green Carnation

More about the book

Exploring the absurdities of British high society, this collection features two plays adapted from Robert Hichens' works by Frank J. Morlock. "The Londoners" satirizes early 20th-century English snobbery and traditions, particularly through the lens of the Ascot races, showcasing a vibrant cast of eccentric characters. In "The Green Carnation," the adaptation captures Oscar Wilde's flamboyant style while cleverly critiquing it. Both plays are humorous and sharp, highlighting Morlock's talent in bringing Hichens' social commentary to life.
