Fresh off the heels of his wildly successful farce, Box and Cox, playwright James Madison Morton, alongside his brother Thomas, transforms a French script into a delightful romantic melodrama set in the Victorian era. At the heart of the story is Jasper Plum, a wealthy cotton factory owner, and his two sons, Stephen and Frederick. One son is captivated by the genuine factory worker, Martha Gibbs, while the other is enamored with the enchanting Lady Valeria. Meanwhile, the charming Sir Arthur Lassell has set his sights on both ladies, adding to the romantic tension. Father Jasper is determined that his sons secure the best matches, wary of gold-diggers seeking their fortune. However, as the saying goes, All that glitters is not gold, and in this tale, appearances can be deceiving! - Summary by Kelly TaylorCopyright Romance Stories Arte Intrattenimento e arti dello spettacolo Teatro e spettacoli
