Rebound is a sophisticated and witty three-act comedy by the acclaimed American humorist and screenwriter Donald Ogden Stewart. Set against the glamorous yet cynical backdrop of late 1920s high society, the play explores the intricate dynamics of love, marriage, and the impulsive decisions of the heart. The narrative centers on Sara Jaffrey, a spirited woman who, after experiencing romantic disappointment, enters into a marriage of convenience with a wealthy friend. As the characters navigate their social circle and the unintended consequences of their romantic entanglements, Stewart delivers the sharp, rhythmic dialogue that established him as a key figure of the Algonquin Round Table.

The work serves as a poignant yet humorous examination of whether genuine happiness can be found through social stability or if true emotional fulfillment remains elusive. It captures the disillusionment and frantic energy of the era, showcasing Stewart's mastery of comedic timing and his keen insight into the human condition. Rebound remains a classic example of American social drama, offering a compelling look at the evolution of social mores and the timeless complexities of human relationships in the early twentieth century.
