A sattirical drama set in the late 19th century, the act definitely has a sense of humor in it throughout..but the humor in the drama lies in the casual, irresponsible dealings of the supposedly responsible matters of life.
The dual existence of human beings is the central theme of the play where the protagonists live two lives in two societies. May need a more thoughtful mind to understand the meaning of what the author intends to convey !
