The play's the thing by Ferenc Molnár and P. G. Wodehouse
"The play's the thing" by Ferenc Molnár and P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic play adapted in 1926. When young composer Albert overhears his fiancée Ilona in a compromising late-night conversation with another actor, their engagement hangs in the balance. Enter his uncle Sandor Turai, a veteran playwright with a theatrical solution: he frantically writes an entire play overnight, transforming the overheard dialogue into scripted lines. Can this elaborate deception convince Albert
that nothing happened, or will the charade unravel? (This is an automatically generated summary.)
