"The Magistrate: A Farce in Three Acts" is a comedy play by the British playwright Arthur Wing Pinero. The action takes place in London, where the honest magistrate Gilbert Gander, who seems to be a completely simple and innocent man, finds himself involved in extremely stormy events. An avalanche of comic misunderstandings, coincidences and mistaken identities swirls around the main character, destroying his reputation and ability to solve justice. Raised to the point of impossibility, Magistrate Gilbert is forced to unearth his own true essence in this bright and hilarious farce. "The Magistrate: A Farce in Three Acts" is a deeply funny and sharply penetrating work that reveals human nature and social stereotypes through the prism of a defenseless hero.
