Summary "April Fools: A farce in one act for three male characters" by W. F. Chapman is a theatrical play written in the late 19th century. This one-act farce focuses on the humorous misunderstandings surrounding a mix-up involving a letter regarding an engagement and a horse for sale. The work explores themes of deception and mistaken identities through playful dialogue and comedic situations, making it a lighthearted piece meant for entertainment. The play centers around Mr. Peter Dunnbrowne, who is eager to marry off his daughter Fanny, and finds himself entangled in a series of misunderstandings with two other men—Mr. James Smith, who believes he's there to buy a horse named Fanny, and Mr. Joseph Smith, an undertaker who has mistakenly received a letter about Fanny's supposed death. As the characters interact, they unravel the confusion, which ultimately stems from a practical joke related to April Fools' Day. The situation escalates into a comedic revelation that showcases the absurdities of communication gone awry, leaving the audience amused by the clever intertwining of their intentions and the chaos that ensues.
