  The Complete Plays of Saki - The...

  This collection of plays is a testament to Saki's (H.H. Munro's) wit and sincerity. 
  In "The Death Trap", a prince must make a decision to either die at the hands of his treasonous generals who want to put his relative on the throne, or set an unorthodox “death trap” for everyone involved; a scheme that turns loyalty into treachery and makes Dimitri’s fate a calculated act of statecraft, revealing Saki’s dark view of power, expediency, and the human cost of political stability. 
  In "Karl Ludwig’s Window," Kurt von Jagdstein, fearing disgrace after a duel gone wrong, returns to his home and contemplates ending his life by leaping from the same window once used in the same way by a tragic ancestor. Yet, amidst this tension, Kurt is in a constant state of witty retort to his family's questions and accusations. While his mother is questioning how they'll ever socially recover from this, he drinks to their health, knowing full well he won't be needing it--a dark satire at its finest. 
  "The Watched Pot" is a three-act comedic play written by Saki in collaboration with Charles Maude. It centers around the inhabitants of Briony manor either scheming or enacting the scheme of marrying the only inheritor of the estate, Trevor Bavvel, before his tyrant of a mother, Hortensia Bavvel, becomes aware of the covert usurpment of her power. The play humorously explores the pressure placed on everyone in the manor as various potential brides are paraded before him, while Trevor remains indifferent and hesitant. While, "the watched pot never boils," lighting a fire under these societal expectations of Edwardian society makes the resulting action of this play as dynamic as a mountain of gunpowder.
