The Old Lady Shows Her Medals
1918
The Old Lady Shows Her Medals is a play by J. M. Barrie, first published in 1918 as part of his collection Echoes of the War. Set during World War I, it follows Mrs. Dowey and her friends, who gather for tea while discussing their sons at the front. The play explores themes of loneliness and deception, as Mrs. Dowey copes with her isolation by fabricating a son who is fighting in the war. Notable for its blend of humor and poignant commentary on wartime life, it has been adapted into film and television.
