Autumn Crocus: A Play in Three Acts

Autumn Crocus is a play written by C. L. Anthony, consisting of three acts. The story revolves around the character of Jenny Grey, an unmarried woman in her 40s who is a governess to a wealthy family. Jenny is in love with a young artist, Richard, but is hesitant to express her feelings due to their age difference and social status. However, when Richard reveals that he is also in love with her, they both struggle to find a way to be together. The play explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the limitations placed on women in the early 20th century. It also delves into the complexities of relationships and the sacrifices people make for love. Autumn Crocus was first performed in London in 1931 and was later adapted into a film in 1934. It has been praised for its poignant and emotional portrayal of love and its ability to resonate with audiences across generations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
