Synopsis
Proposin'
Richard Slocum From Anton Chekhov
Published by Samuel French Inc
1 Male 2 Female
One of the greatest, funniest farces ever written, transferred to the brand new state of Oklahoma, circa 1920
To Mabel Hightower's porch comes spastically nervous P J Hastings, hemming and hawing to the Mrs about the hand in marriage of her daughter, Jessie
And the young Hightower is a dynamo - opinionated, spunky and restless
Many battles are fought before the kiss is placed: boundary disputes, cattle vs sheep, demented relatives, etc
This is a wonderful adaptation with strong characters and sharp dialogue
Easy to produce.
