Tom Cobb: "Why, there's a squalid old pauper idiot, a patient of his, who's got no name of his own, and Whipple [Doctor] christened him "Tom Cobb", because he says he's the ugliest old lunatic he ever saw and reminds him of me. And all the boys in the neighborhood have taken it up, and he's been known as Tom Cobb for the last two years. That's pleasant of Whipple.... One Tom Cobb's enough at a time!" What happens to young Tom if the old Tom dies and all young Tom's bills are now erased since he be dead. But isn't. And if potential heirs of the young Tom decide to submit the young Tom's will in their favor instead of the old Tom's? Comedy done well. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Colonel O'Fipp, an Irish Adventurer: Aiken Tom Cobb, Young Surgeon: Dalerobbins Whipple, Young Surgeon: Adrian Stephens Matilda O'Fipp, the Colonel's Daughter: HelenaDiamandiz Mr. Effingham, member of a romantic family: ToddHW Mrs. Effingham, member of a romantic family: WendyKatzHiller Bulstrode Effingham, member of a romantic family: Alan Mapstone Caroline Effingham, member of a romantic family: Annie Mars Biddy: ashleighjane Footman: Andrew Gaunce Stage Directions: awonski Editing: ToddHWCopyright Comedy Genre アート 文学史・文学批評 衛生・健康的な生活 身体的病い・疾患
