New York City
The Lively Lad is a stylish and slyly satirical comedy with songs. Jonathan Van Huffle is in love with the scrumptious but scrupulous Miss McCracken. A woman of conscience, she wants the wealthy Jonathan to think less about having more — and she’s particularly opposed to what she considers an inhumane custom that’s making a comeback: the procurement of eunuchs for rich debutantes like Jonathan’s own spoiled daughter, Little Eva. In this fast-paced, outrageous, turn-of-the-[20th]century farce, Quincy Long creates a world that’s oddly reminiscent of our own.
