The Sleeping-Car: A Farce
1883
The Sleeping-Car: A Farce is a comedic play by William Dean Howells, first published in 1883. Set in the late 19th century during the rise of American railroad travel, it follows the humorous interactions of passengers aboard a sleeping car, particularly focusing on Mrs. Agnes Roberts and her aunt Mary as they journey to meet Agnes's brother. The play explores themes of communication, family dynamics, and the absurdities of social conventions through a series of misunderstandings and comedic revelations among the characters.
