Synopsis
Tea and Sympathy
Published by Samuel French Inc
9 Male 2 Female
The kidding turns to rumor and finally to persecution. The master of the house joins the boys in their abuse, and even his father cannot understand him
Determined to prove his manliness, the youth goes out for a night on the town with the village strumpet
This is his downfall for he sickens at the sight of the strumpet and runs all the way home. Word gets around quickly. Now he is no longer ridiculed; he is completely shunned
The master's beautiful, kind and understanding wife offers the only sympathy in a delicate final scene
