DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Charm, and Other Drawing-Room Plays In considering the Drawing-Room Comedy we ought to discuss first of all the exigencies of the stage on which such Comedy is likely to be played. For it may happen to be a small stage. Very few drawing-rooms, except those which belong to large houses, are able to provide a stage broad enough for many characters and for strong situations. The stage must not be crowded with personages whose movements may be hampered by want of space. Again, such a stage may possibly have very little depth, which is another reason for keeping the situations as much as possible quiet and free from overmuch movement Next as regards the scenery. It must be considered that while a room, a hall, or a simple outside view may be easily represented, very little more can be attempted, and as a general rule there must be very little or no change of scenery.
