Sayville History Splash; 1931 SHS Drama club presents “The Trysting Place: A Farce in One Act”
Authored by Booth Tarkington, this was a comedic theatrical work set within the opulent confines of a country hotel. The narrative centered on the amusing misunderstandings and romantic complications involving four men and four women who are enjoying their stay at the same resort. The action took place in a single room adjacent to the hotel lounge, where characters frequently enter and exit, resulting in a succession of comedic events. Each individual becomes entangled in a mix-up, mistakenly believing they are meeting someone else, which leads to considerable confusion and amusement. In the end, the play concluded with each couple discovering their rightful partner. This delightful and amusing piece highlighted Tarkington’s skill in crafting engaging and humorous situations.
