Magic: A Fantastic Comedy

Magic: A Fantastic Comedy

by Gilbert K. Chesterton

In this comedic play, a stranger appears in a village and claims to be a magician, bringing about a series of events that challenge the beliefs and convictions 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, inviting the audience to question their own beliefs and the nature of truth.
