Masks and Faces is a comedic play in two acts, written by Tom Taylor and first published in 1854. The play is set in the 18th century and tells the story of a famous actor named Triplet and his family, including his wife and daughter. Triplet is known for his ability to transform himself into different characters on stage, but struggles to maintain his own identity offstage. The play explores the themes of identity, fame, and the blurred lines between reality and performance. It also delves into the complex relationships between family members and the challenges of balancing personal and professional lives. Throughout the play, the characters wear literal and figurative masks, highlighting the idea of hiding one's true self behind a facade. The plot is driven by a series of misunderstandings and mistaken identities, leading to comedic situations and ultimately a resolution that celebrates the importance of honesty and authenticity. Masks and Faces is considered a classic of Victorian-era theater and has been adapted for film and television multiple times. It remains a popular choice for theater productions today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
