The Matchmaker
The Matchmaker
By Thornton Wilder
A certain old merchant of Yonkers is so rich in 1800 that he decides to take a wife. He employs a matchmaker a woman who
subsequently becomes involved with two of his menial clerks, assorted young and lovely ladies, and the headwaiter at an expensive
restaurant where this swift farce runs headlong into hilarious complications.
After everyone gets straightened out romantically and has their heart's desire, the merchant finds himself affianced to the astute matchmaker herself. He who was so shrewd in business is putty in the hands of Dolly Levi. He is fooled by apprentices in a series of hilarious hide-and-seek scenes, and finally has all his bluster explode in his face.
