FREE SCRIPT REVIEW "The Naughty Wife" (1941) by Frederick Jackson (died 1953)

"The Naughty Wife" Full length comedy Five Male Three Female This piece was a succesful comedy which enjoyed strong revivals in Australia. The naughty wife, as the title suggests, dwells on the topic of feminine infidelity of the main protagonist Elouise (and the masculine version from lover Darrell, too) although the plot enjoys brinkmanship on the extra-marital act, and the disenchanted couple are rescued from debauchery by a timely cleric and some hilarious antics by the inventive and heroic husband, Hilary. A double marriage makes a happy ending with bums-in-seats appeal. Modernity features of this play include petrol motor cars, telephones, flashlights, Electric lights, with female cast smoking and enjoying a well stocked and global liquor cabinet.
