History
Dramatist Arthur Wing Pinero began as an actor in Sir Henry Irving's company. His earliest works were farces and comedies, but his four celebrated "problem plays", The Second Mrs Tanqueray (1893), The Notorious Mrs Ebbsmith (1895), Iris (1901) and Mid-Channel (1909) are more in the manner of Dumas fils, or even Ibsen. Trelawney of the "Wells" is a nostalgic picture of the theatre Pinero had known as a young man.
