If - A Play in Four Acts

Publisher: Good Press
Summary
"If: A Play in Four Acts" by Lord Dunsany is a first-hand look at World War I in France and England. The author, Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, wrote this play under his pen-name. He took his experiences in the war to inspire this dramatic story that takes a scary fantastical turn when a late 19th century British middle-class family man receives a gem from a Persian beggar that allows him to go back in time. Despite protests from his wife, he uses it.
