The Admirable Crichton - A Comedy

"Once a month, Lord Loam encourages his servants to enter the drawing room for tea. This ritual defiance of tradition disturbs Crichton, the butler, who regards the class system as "the natural outcome of a civilized society." When the entire household is shipwrecked and stranded on a desert island, a new social order emerges -- with comic results for master and servant.

First produced in 1902, the play was adapted for radio and television and has been frequently revived on the stage"--
