The Idealists

by Helen R. Hull

About this book

Mary Lake tells Howard Wincherly that their engagement is over. His refusal to accept her explanation becomes more complicated when Tom Chase arrives, bringing another set of assumptions about her feelings and her future.

Set during a single evening in Mary’s sitting room, this complete short play puts the three characters’ competing ideas of love and independence into direct conversation. Helen R. Hull’s adult drama first appeared in The Touchstone in September 1917 and preserves the original dialogue and stage directions.
