Our American Cousin

Meer over het boek

Set in the Victorian era, this three-act play features a boorish but honest American cousin who arrives in the English countryside to claim his inheritance. As he navigates the aristocratic family's affairs, he becomes embroiled in a series of comedic misunderstandings, leading to a rescue of both the family's fortunes and their damsels in distress. With its array of stereotyped characters and classic farcical elements, the play offers a humorous critique of cultural differences between America and England.
