Summary "Lively Plays for Live People" by Thomas S. Denison is a collection of plays, likely written in the late 19th century, featuring a variety of comedic and farcical works. The text outlines several plays, indicating a focus on humor and social commentary through the lens of varied comedic scenarios, such as those involving twins and eccentric characters in curious predicaments. The beginning of the book presents the first play, "Topp's Twins," which follows the character Cadwalader Topp, an irascible oyster dealer with a quirky penchant for adopting twins due to his family's tradition. Amidst a flurry of misunderstandings and comical interactions with various characters, including a cheeky traveling salesman and the assertive Mrs. Twiggs-Knott, Topp's desire for twins sets off a humorous chain of events. The narrative cleverly intertwines the themes of love, rivalry, and societal expectations, suggesting an entertaining read filled with lively dialogue and situational comedy.
