The Ginger Cat and Other Lost Plays

Contents

• "Introduction"
• "The Ginger Cat," a comedy, concerning a seeming fool who takes nothing but laughter seriously, in production in summer 1914, was canceled at the outbreak of World War I
• "The Murderers," a crime melodrama, with a "twist" ending, had one known performance, in 1919, at Yale University, during a visit by the playwright, and never included in Dunsany's play collections, which were primarily of fantasies and comedies
• "Mr. Faithful," another comedy, about the adventures of a man who must literally live a dog's life to marry the woman he has his heart set on, that was written in 1922, when it was also performed on the BBC; an acting edition published by Samuel French in 1935 is now a relative rarity
