The Catspaw: A Comedy, In Five Acts (1850) is a play written by Douglas William Jerrold. The story revolves around the character of John O'Groat, a poor Irishman who is hired by a wealthy businessman, Mr. Gabriel, to carry out a series of nefarious deeds. O'Groat is promised a large sum of money for his services, but soon realizes that he is being used as a pawn in a larger scheme.As the plot unfolds, O'Groat becomes increasingly conflicted about his role in the scheme and begins to question his own morality. The play explores themes of greed, power, and the corrupting influence of money.Throughout the play, Jerrold uses humor and satire to comment on the social and political issues of his time. He also employs a range of colorful characters, including a group of bumbling police officers and a cunning thief, to keep the audience engaged and entertained.Overall, The Catspaw is a witty and thought-provoking play that offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
