Magic: A Fantastic Comedy
'Magic: A Fantastic Comedy' Summary
The play takes place in a small village where a stranger arrives and claims to be a magician. He performs a series of miracles, which challenge the beliefs of the townspeople. Doctor Grimthorpe, a rationalist, believes the magician to be a fraud, while Morris Carleon, a man of faith, sees him as a genuine miracle worker. The play explores the power of faith and the boundaries between reality and illusion. In the end, the magician is revealed to be a fraud, but the play leaves the audience to question their own beliefs and the nature of truth.Book Details
