Rent Day

""The Rent Day: A Domestic Drama"" is a play written by Douglas William Jerrold and first performed at the Theater Royal Drury Lane in 1832. The play is set in a small English village and revolves around the struggles of the working-class tenants who are unable to pay their rent to their wealthy landlord. The story follows the lives of various characters, including a young couple who are about to be evicted from their home, an elderly widow who is being forced to leave her cottage, and a greedy landlord who cares only about collecting his rent. With themes of poverty, injustice, and class struggle, ""The Rent Day"" is a powerful commentary on the social and economic conditions of 19th century England. Jerrold's skillful writing and vivid characterizations make this play a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
