A theatrical play written in the early 20th century. This comedy unfolds the life and dynamics of a rural farmhouse family, particularly focusing on the character of Allen Rollitt, who is navigating his newly acquired wealth and the changes it brings to his relationships and local community. The opening of ''Woodbarrow Farm'' introduces us to the daily life at the titular farmhouse, where Mrs. Rollitt and her niece Deborah prepare for the return of Allen, who has recently come into a fortune. The lively kitchen setting features humorous exchanges between the characters, including the straightforward Mrs. Rollitt, the dreamy Deborah, and the humorous Ichabod, who brings extra color to the conversation with his comedic attempts at romance and fishing. As the play unfolds, themes of love, ambition, and societal expectations begin to emerge, particularly as Allen grapples with the changes brought by his newfound status while maintaining connections to his roots and those he cares about.
