What happens when a struggling doctor needs patients and a village needs a duchess? This spirited Victorian farce answers that question with a cascade of mistaken identities, inflated egos, and social climbing gone magnificently wrong. Dr. Adam Aconite has set up shop in a town that wants nothing to do with him. His solution: enlist his friends to impersonate a fictional Duchess of Dublin, then treat her in public. The townsfolk immediately scramble for appointments with the doctor who commands such prestigious attention. But as Maggie Mullen the milliner struggles to maintain her noble facade, the situation spirals into chaos. The play works because it zeroes in on a truth we still recognize: people will believe almost anything about someone with a title. It's a bright, bouncy comedy about the lengths we'll go to for status and how easily we let ourselves be fooled by appearances.
