The play is set in Bath in the 18th century, a town legendary for conspicuous consumption and fashion at the time. Wealthy, fashionable people went there to "take the waters", which were believed to have healing properties. The plot centres on the two young lovers, Lydia and Jack. Lydia, who reads a lot of popular novels of the time, wants a purely romantic love affair. To court her, Jack pretends to be "Ensign Beverley", a poor officer. Lydia is enthralled with the idea of eloping with a poor soldier in spite of her guardian, Mrs. Malaprop, a moralistic widow. Mrs. Malaprop is the chief comic figure of the play, thanks to her continual misuse of words that sound like the words she intends but mean something completely different. (The term malapropism was coined in reference to the character.) Lydia has two other suitors: Bob Acres (a somewhat buffoonish country gentleman), and Sir Lucius O'Trigger, an impoverished and combative Irish gentleman. Sir Lucius pays Lucy to carry love notes between him and Lydia (who uses the name "Delia"), but Lucy is swindling him: "Delia" is actually Mrs. Malaprop.

A sharp-witted, wide-ranging collection from Walt Handelsman, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for Editorial Cartooning. Walt Handelsman’s nationally syndicated editorial cartoons have touched on international issues, nationwide events, and a few points of local interest to Louisiana, and this gallery of his work is both pointed and poignant. He has covered world dramas from Somalia to the Gulf War to Bosnia to Tiananmen Square with incredible depth in a single frame, and his humor shines through his commentary on presidential administrations and a seemingly unending supply of topics, like health care, race relations, tax reform, term limits, and, of course, campaigns. And his caricatures of Louisiana notables like Governor Edwin Edwards and the ever-controversial David Duke have made it to op-ed pages far beyond the state. This collection showcases the insightful comic sensibility and style that have earned him, in addition to his Pulitzers, two Headliner’s Club Awards, a Society of Professional Journalist’s Award, and a Scripps Howard National Journalism Award.Show book
