False Colors is a comedic play in five acts, written by Edward Morris and originally published in 1793. The play centers around the character of Charles Surface, a young man who is in love with Maria, the ward of his uncle, Sir Peter Teazle. However, Charles is also in debt and in danger of losing his inheritance. To make matters worse, his brother Joseph is trying to marry Maria for her money, and Sir Peter is considering disowning Charles in favor of Joseph. To win Maria's heart and save his inheritance, Charles concocts a plan to pretend to be a reformed man and win over Sir Peter's approval. However, his plan is complicated by the arrival of Lady Sneerwell, a scheming woman who is determined to ruin the reputations of Sir Peter and his friends. As the plot unfolds, Charles and his friends engage in a series of humorous schemes and deceptions, all while trying to outsmart Lady Sneerwell and win the love of Maria. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a gossiping servant, a bumbling lawyer, and a group of social climbers. Through its witty dialogue and humorous situations, False Colors offers a satirical look at the social mores and conventions of late 18th-century England. It remains a popular play today and is considered a classic of English theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
