Set on a houseboat on the Thames in 1911, The New Morality tells the story of an argument between a husband and wife after she catches him lavishing attention on their neighbor. Chapin had numerous one-acts and three full-length plays produced between 1910 and 1914 before enlisting in the Royal Army Medical Corp and dying on the battlefield in 1915. The New Morality is his final play, which was first produced in 1920.
