Three Bags Full November 12, 2010

"Three Bags Full" by Jerome Chodorov is a bright, lively farce about a greedy merchant who finds himself snookered into being a matchmaker for two daughters, one the child of his wife and the other the maid's offspring. Rebellious young ladies, a comely new maid, pregnant ladies and mistaken identities lead to explosive hilarity.

Of course, he also has to contend with a larcenous employee who has embezzled half a million dollars and offers to return it for a managerial position and the daughter's hand. Half of the loot is in diamonds and half in cash - each stashed in separate but identical bags. Naturally, a third identical bag contains the maid's skivvies.

Three identical satchels - one full of cash, one full of diamonds, and one full of ladies bloomers, but which one is which? Set in New York at the turn of the last century with loverly young ladies, greedy merchants and ambitious employees, this fast paced comedy never stops.
