The Marrying of Ann Leete is a comedic play written by Granville Barker, originally published in 1911. The play is set in a small English town and follows the story of Ann Leete, a wealthy young woman who has been courted by three different suitors. Ann's father, a wealthy businessman, is determined to find the best match for his daughter and has arranged for each of the suitors to spend time with Ann in order to win her heart.The play is divided into four acts, each of which takes place in a different location. Act one is set in Ann's home, where the three suitors are introduced and Ann's father outlines his plan. Act two takes place in a garden, where the suitors continue to vie for Ann's attention. In act three, the action moves to a local fair, where the suitors compete in various games and challenges. Finally, act four takes place in Ann's home once again, where the suitors make their final pitches to win her hand in marriage.Throughout the play, Barker uses witty dialogue and clever plot twists to keep the audience engaged. The Marrying of Ann Leete is a lighthearted comedy that explores themes of love, marriage, and the social expectations placed upon young women in early 20th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
