Next of Kin is a two-act farce written by Edward Clarke and originally published in 1845. The play revolves around the character of John White, a wealthy businessman who is presumed dead after an accident at sea. His greedy and scheming relatives, who stand to inherit his fortune, are eager to find his will and claim their share of his estate. However, their plans are complicated when John unexpectedly returns from the dead, causing a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mistaken identities. The play is filled with witty dialogue, clever plot twists, and absurd situations that poke fun at the greed and selfishness of the characters. Next of Kin is a classic example of Victorian-era farce and is sure to entertain readers with its fast-paced humor and clever wordplay.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
