A comic play, written in 1902. Crichton is butler to the Earl of Loam, a gent whoconsiders the class divisions in British society to be artificial. He promotes his views during tea parties, where servants mingle with his aristocratic guests, to the embarrassment of all. Crichton particularly disapproves. WhenLoam, his family and friends and Crichton and a maidservant are shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island, the resourceful Crichton is the only one of the party with any practical knowledge, and he assumes the role of leader – reluctantly. Can the Earl and the high-society members of the party go it alone on the deserted island, or will they accept the reversal of roles in order to survive ? The play deals with serious class issues that were controversial at the time.
