Paul Pry (play) - Synopsis

Synopsis

The storyline is centered on a comical, idle, meddlesome and mischievous fellow consumed with curiosity. Unable to mind his own business, he's an interfering busybody who conveniently leaves behind an umbrella everywhere he goes in order to have an excuse to return and eavesdrop. At the end, however, Pry becomes a hero for rescuing papers from a well that incriminate more serious troublemakers. Cherry Ripe, the 17th-century English folk song to words by the English poet Robert Herrick, is adapted into the play.
