Coles The Plays of W. E. Henley and R. L. Stevenson: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
W. E. Henley and R. L. Stevenson bring together a vivid range of dramatic moods, from high melodrama to sharp-edged farce, all shadowed by deception, ambition, and the dangerous gap between appearance and truth. At the heart of the collection stands Deacon Brodie; or, The Double Life, a gripping tale of late eighteenth-century Edinburgh, where a respected civic leader secretly pursues a life of theft, betrayal, and moral collapse. The tension of divided identity, pursuit, and exposure drives the action toward an inevitable reckoning. The other plays widen the emotional range. In Beau Austin, wit and vanity give way to a hard-won moral choice as George Austin is urged to yield Dorothy Musgrave to the sincere Fenwick of Allonby Shaw, turning romance into a test of honor and generosity. Admiral Guinea adds a brief, anguished cry of violence and retaliation, while Macaire presents a darkly comic burglary in which criminal bravado is undone by suspicion, evidence, and justice. Together, these works offer a compact gallery of crime, conscience, and theatrical suspense. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
