"The Albany Depot" (New York: Printed by Scribner and Company, 1879) is a comedy play by the American writer William Dean Howells. Set in a train station in Albany, New York, the story revolves around the hilarious confusion caused by the characters' misunderstandings and confused identities. The author masterfully combined the lightness of comedy with the analysis of social stereotypes and the psychology of the characters. "Albany Station" is a vivid example of American humor and satire of the end of the 19th century, which remains relevant to this day.
