Brass Bottle: A Farcical Fantastic Play In Four Acts (1911)

The Brass Bottle is a comedic play written by F. Anstey in 1911. The play is divided into four acts and follows the story of Horace Ventimore, a young lawyer who accidentally releases a genie from a brass bottle. The genie, named Fakrash, is grateful to Horace for freeing him and offers to grant him three wishes. However, Fakrash is not the typical genie that one might expect. He is mischievous and often causes more problems than he solves. Horace's wishes lead to a series of hilarious mishaps and misunderstandings, including mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and a visit to the underworld. The play is a lighthearted and entertaining farce that pokes fun at the conventions of the genie tale genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
