Four Short Plays is a collection of four plays written by Lascelles Abercrombie and published in 1922. The plays included in this collection are The End of the World, The Sale of St. Thomas, Deborah, and The Altar of the Dead. Each play explores different themes and subjects, ranging from religious allegory to domestic drama. The End of the World is a play that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the last two people on earth must confront their own mortality and the end of humanity. The Sale of St. Thomas is an allegorical play that explores the themes of betrayal and redemption through the story of St. Thomas' sale of Christ. Deborah is a domestic drama that tells the story of a woman who must choose between her love for her husband and her loyalty to her family. The Altar of the Dead is a psychological drama that explores the themes of grief and memory through the story of a man who creates an altar to honor the memory of his deceased loved ones. Overall, Four Short Plays is a collection of thought-provoking and emotionally charged plays that explore a range of themes and subjects. Abercrombie's writing is characterized by his use of vivid imagery and symbolism, making these plays both engaging and intellectually stimulating.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
