The story is about a family consisting of a very strict father, who has framed
certain rules and regulations which are to be followed by his children and the
daughter-in-law and the servant. Nobody has the guts to speak against the father
or to express their opinions in front of him. But as soon as he is away they have
nothing else but to give vent to their feeling of disgust and imprisonment that they
have to undergo. One day the daughter-in-law announces that she is pregnant and now
looking at her delicate health it is imperative to have another servant who can look
after her, but the question now is who is going to bell the cat. Somehow the father
grants them the permission to engage the services of a maid servant.
Enter the maid servant and she takes the house by the storm with her witty answers
and everybody falls
in love with her caring and jovial nature. She tries to gather
information about the master of the house and why the children are so very scared of
him.
One fine morning both the maid and the master come face to face and the master is
shocked to see the lady standing in front of him.
Rest is for you to come and see how the play proceeds and how the lady bridges
the gap between the children and the father.Also how she makes the father realise
that education, sophistication, high society is not only life but there should always
be love and tenderness which is much more important.
This is a social comedy which is a touch of emotions which every human being passes
through in his or her life at some point of time and this is what makes the play realistic.
