Breezy Point - Belle Marshall Locke

Breezy Point is a comedic play written by Belle Marshall Locke in 1898. The play follows a group of female characters who gather at the titular Breezy Point for a summer vacation. The women are all from different backgrounds and personalities, and their interactions with each other provide the basis for the comedic situations that occur throughout the play.The play is divided into three acts, with each act taking place on a different day of the vacation. The first act introduces the characters and sets up the conflicts that will drive the rest of the play. The second act sees the conflicts come to a head, with the women engaging in various schemes and hijinks to get what they want. The third act brings resolution to the conflicts and sees the women coming together in friendship and solidarity.One of the unique aspects of Breezy Point is that it is written entirely for female characters. This was a rarity in the late 19th century, when most plays were written for male actors and featured only a few female characters. Locke's decision to write a play exclusively for women was a bold move that helped to pave the way for more female representation in the theater.Overall, Breezy Point is a lighthearted and entertaining play that showcases the talents of its all-female cast. It is a product of its time, but its themes of friendship, loyalty, and female empowerment are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
