The Big Idea: An Unusual Play In Three Acts is a dramatic work written by Albert Ellsworth Thomas and first published in 1917. The play centers around the character of John, a successful businessman who becomes increasingly dissatisfied with his life and begins to question the meaning of his existence. As he struggles to find purpose and fulfillment, he is confronted by a series of challenges and obstacles that force him to confront his deepest fears and desires.The play is divided into three acts, each of which explores a different aspect of John's journey. In the first act, we are introduced to John and his world, as he grapples with the emptiness and dissatisfaction he feels despite his material success. In the second act, John is forced to confront his own mortality and the fragility of life, as he faces a life-threatening illness. Finally, in the third act, John must make a decision about the direction of his life, as he chooses between the safety and comfort of his old life and the uncertainty and risk of a new path.Throughout the play, Thomas explores themes of identity, purpose, and the search for meaning in life. He also raises questions about the nature of success and the role that material wealth plays in our lives. The Big Idea is a thoughtful and thought-provoking work that challenges readers to consider their own values and priorities, and to reflect on what truly matters in life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
