by Ben Travers


What readers are saying
Readers think the play is enjoyable but not the best example of its genre. There's a comparison to a similar work that is considered funnier and more engaging.
Synopsis
For over half a century Ben Travers was the premier farceur in the English theatre, delighting millions with his hilarious shenanigans.
PLUNDER, one of the best of Mr. Travers' "Aldwych Farces" was recently revived to great acclaim by the National Theatre of Great Britain!
The story concerns the efforts of a gentleman burglar to relieve one Mrs. Hewlett of her jewels.
Freddy Malone makes the mistake, though, of enlisting the bumbling D'Arcy Tuck in his plot.
Tuck acquiesces because he feels Mrs. Hewlett has swindled his fiancee out of her rightful inheritance.
Complication is piled upon complication until the hilarious climax when the suave burglar and his idiotic accomplice actually get away with it!

Plunder is a British comedy play written by Ben Travers and published by University of California in London (1976).
