Diary of a Nobody
A Popular Victorian Comedy by George and Weedon Grossmith
A Victorian comedy detailing the slow derailment of a London clerk and his wife’s move to the country. This dry wit was very popular in its day! Getting to grips with the remodelling of the house, working with the new sometimes drunk tradesmen – all good fun!
“He said he wouldn’t stay, as he didn’t care much for the smell of the paint, and fell over the scraper as he went out. Must get the scraper removed, or else I shall get into a SCRAPE. I don’t often make jokes.”
