A Proposal Under Difficulties: A Farce

A Proposal Under Difficulties is a comedic play by John Kendrick Bangs, written in the late 19th century during the Victorian era. Set in a fashionable New York drawing-room, it humorously explores the complications of romantic proposals through the misadventures of suitors Robert Yardsley and Jack Barlow as they vie for Dorothy Andrews' affection. The play highlights themes of mistaken identities and social awkwardness, culminating in a charming resolution as Yardsley ultimately proposes to Dorothy amidst the chaos.
