The main character is Sempronius Getleton. The latter and his family had been making preparations for a home play for a couple of months. The Getlton family had impressive wealth and lived on the grounds of the Villa Rose, which was located in Elapham Rise. Moreover, she was very fond of all kinds of theatrical performances. The aforementioned representative of the stronger sex was a successful merchant.

The luxurious estate, which in its usual state was characterized by a clean yet tidy interior and exterior, had been transformed into a veritable theatrical establishment shortly before the day of the performance. All the furniture had been removed from the dining room, and the imposing room itself had been transformed into a backroom. The bedrooms were filled to overflowing with various decorations, while the kitchen was diligently worked on by carpenters. The living room served as a location for rehearsals. The latter took place on its premises in the evening.
