The great adventure; a comedy in four acts

This play revolves around the plot of exchanged identities, when famous English painter, Ilan Carve, takes on the identity of his dead valet, Albert Shawn. Being a recluse, no one knows what Carve truly looked like and so it proved easy to pull off the deception. Of course, being dead, his work becomes a sensation and the "late" artist, who left much of his fortune to promote the arts, is hailed as "a hero of the arts." He gets married and complications arise when he sells some new paintings to a local dealer who in turn sells them to a wealthy American. A suit is threatened, but everything is ultimately resolved with Carve able to retain his new identity.
