Parlor Dramas: Or Dramatic Scenes, For Home Amusement is a book written by William Bentley Fowle in 1856. The book contains a collection of short plays or dramatic scenes that are designed to be performed in the home, specifically in the parlor. The scenes are intended to provide entertainment for family and friends, and can be performed by amateur actors without the need for elaborate costumes or sets. The book includes a variety of scenes, ranging from comedies to tragedies, and covers a range of themes and subjects, including love, betrayal, and family relationships. Each scene includes detailed instructions for staging and performance, as well as suggestions for costumes and props. Parlor Dramas provides a glimpse into the popular entertainment of the mid-19th century, and offers a unique perspective on the role of drama in the home. The book is a valuable resource for historians, theater enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of domestic entertainment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
