Für’s Herz gibt’s auf die Ohren und ins Stammhirn - lustvoll zuckt das Tanzbein. Die Welt ist Klang - der Klang ist unsere Welt: stamm-h ö r n-sessions!

First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.
