Washington Square Plays is a collection of four one-act plays written by Lewis Beach and published in 1916. The first play, The Clod, is a drama that explores the conflict between two brothers, one of whom is a successful businessman while the other is a struggling farmer. Eugenically Speaking is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the eugenics movement, which was popular at the time. Overtones is a psychological drama that delves into the subconscious thoughts and feelings of two women who meet at a social gathering. Finally, Helena's Husband is a tragicomedy about a man who is forced to confront his wife's infidelity. Each play offers a unique perspective on the human experience and showcases Beach's skill as a playwright. Overall, Washington Square Plays is a fascinating glimpse into the world of American theater in the early 20th century.Also Authored By Philip Moeller, With An Introduction By Walter Prichard Eaton, And A Preface By Edward Goodman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
