Possession: A Peep-Show in Paradise
1938
Possession: A Peep-Show in Paradise is a play by Laurence Housman, first published in 1938. Set in a Victorian-style drawing-room, it follows the dynamics between three deceased sisters—Julia, Laura, and Martha—as they navigate their relationships in the afterlife. The play explores themes of family connections, ownership, and the nature of existence beyond death, critiquing materialism and the concept of possession through rich characterizations and sharp dialogue.
