Books by Arthur Wing Pinero

A funny, dramatic, and utterly enthralling play by one of the greatest Victorian dramatists.

A farce by the English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero. The plot concerns a respectable magistrate who finds himself caught up in a series of scandalous events that almost cause his disgrace.

Arthur W.Pinero's The Second Mrs Tanqueray was the greatest commercial success of the Victorian theatre. The Daily Telegraph described this theatrical treasure as the play 'that changed British theatre forever'.

The Second Mrs. Tanqueray was the theatrical sensation of the London stage in 1893. It established Pinero as the leading English dramatist of serious social issues, and created a star out of Mrs. Patrick Campbell in the title role.
