| Summary | "Three Plays" by A. A. Milne is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. The three plays included in this volume, "The Great Broxopp," "The Dover Road," and "The Truth About Blayds," explore themes of ambition, relationships, and societal expectations through characters navigating personal and professional struggles. The main character, Broxopp, is an ambitious advertising agent whose journey unfolds as he grapples with the challenges of success and family life. The beginning of "The Great Broxopp" introduces us to the titular character and his wife, Nancy, in modest lodgings during the late Victorian era. Broxopp is depicted as an idealistic advertising agent who yearns to elevate his profession and establish himself as an artist in the field. As he searches for success, the dialogue between him and Nancy reveals their financial struggles but also their deep affection for each other. Their lighthearted banter and determination to support one another set the tone for Broxopp's journey as he aspires to achieve recognition and prosperity through his advertising talents.
