Excuse Me! (Dramatic Reading)

Excuse Me! is a comedic play by Rupert Hughes, set on a coast-to-coast train where a diverse group of couples find themselves entangled in humorous situations. Written in the early 20th century, the story features a serviceman and his bride-to-be, a disguised preacher, a heartbroken drunk, and a bachelor reconnecting with his long-lost love. The play is notable for its exploration of romantic entanglements and social dynamics, though it contains racial slurs reflective of its time, which may offend modern audiences.
