Bag om The Private Secretary

The Private Secretary is a farcical comedy play written by Charles Hawtrey. The story revolves around the character of Charles, who is the private secretary of a wealthy and eccentric businessman named Colonel Sir Edward. Charles is a rather timid and unassuming individual who is constantly being pushed around by his boss and his domineering wife, Lady Mary. However, things take a hilarious turn when Charles decides to take matters into his own hands and starts to manipulate the Colonel and his household staff for his own benefit. As the plot thickens, we see Charles getting embroiled in a series of comical situations that involve mistaken identities, secret love affairs, and a host of other absurdities. The play is divided into three acts, each of which builds on the previous one to create a riotous climax that will leave audiences in stitches.
