The Hypocrites is a play written by Henry Arthur Jones and first published in 1906. The play is divided into four acts and tells the story of a wealthy family, the Moreys, who are struggling to maintain their social status in the face of financial difficulties. The patriarch of the family, Sir John Morey, is a hypocrite who pretends to be a devout Christian while engaging in immoral behavior. His wife, Lady Morey, is also a hypocrite who cares more about her social status than her family's well-being. The play explores themes of hypocrisy, greed, and the corrupting influence of wealth and power. It is a scathing critique of the upper classes and their values, and it remains a powerful commentary on the human condition more than a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
