An Old Score

About the show

A three-act comedy-drama intertwines the debts and ambitions of the Calthorpe family, merchant James Casby, and governess Mary Waters. Colonel Calthorpe expects repayment for helping Casby, while his son Harold leaves home to marry Mary; Casby later reveals that he has paid the Colonel’s forged loan guarantees and will not expose him, settling their old score. Ethel’s feelings and marriage prospects shift as the conflict resolves.
