The Changed Valentines, and Other Plays for St. Valentine's Day

In a cozy early‑twentieth‑century home, the Winston family gathers around a well‑worn desk to send Valentine's messages. Bert, the earnest older brother, rehearses a note to the charming Eloise V. Worthington, while his sisters Evelyn and Helen hustle to finish their own love verses. Their bachelor uncle, Mr. Bertram Elliott, drops by with his own nostalgic habit of dispatching valentines, adding a touch of veteran romance to the bustling scene.

Into this orderly chatter stumbles Bobby, the mischievous youngest sibling, who spots the unattended letters and decides a little switch‑eroo will spice things up. He deftly replaces the sealed envelopes, hoping the recipients won’t notice the mix‑up, while the adults are distracted by a sudden crash and a shrill scream. The resulting confusion spirals into a comedic tangle of misplaced sentiments, revealing how a single child's prank can turn a simple holiday tradition into a lively family farce.
