The Private Secretary (1883) is a three-act comedy by English actor
and playwright Charles Hawtrey. Adapted from a popular German
farce, The Private Secretary helped launch Hawtrey's career as one
of Victorian England's leading theatrical figures. Initially panned
by critics and audiences, The Private Secretary was revised and
shortened by Hawtrey, who then restaged the play to resounding
praise. Revived countless times throughout the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, The Private Secretary is a comic masterpiece
that set the stage for such playwrights as Oscar Wilde. Harry
Marsland and Douglas Cattermole are two young friends who find
themselves deeply in debt. Ever unwilling to take responsibility,
they look to Robert Spalding, a clergyman as honest as he is
innocent, for a way out. While Spalding is employed as a secretary
for the Marsland family, Douglas...borrows...his identity in order
to seek forgiveness from his creditors. Meanwhile, Douglas' uncle
returns from India and mistakes the unwitting clergyman for his
nephew and precedes to berate him for his newfound silence and
passivity. When a suspicious creditor uncovers their poorly
concealed plan, the two friends must bribe him with a chance to
stay at Harry's family estate, which only further risks the chance
of Spalding getting to the bottom of his own strange situation. The
Private Secretary is a comedy of manners that dissects English
aristocratic life in order to expose its capacity for vanity,
greed, and exploitation. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition Charles Hawtrey's
The Private Secretary is a classic work of English comedy
reimagined for modern readers.
