W. F. Chapman
A little-known playwright remembered for the comic one-act farce April Fools, a brisk stage piece built on mistaken letters, crossed intentions, and playful confusion. Very little biographical information survives online, which gives the work an extra air of curiosity.

April Fools: A farce in one act for three male characters
by W. F. Chapman
About the author
W. F. Chapman is an obscure author whose name is chiefly preserved through April Fools: A farce in one act for three male characters. The play is available through Project Gutenberg, where it is presented as a short comic work centered on misunderstandings and mix-ups.
Reliable biographical details about Chapman are hard to confirm from the sources found here. No solid reference turned up for dates, background, or a fuller bibliography, so it is safest to describe Chapman as a little-documented playwright rather than make stronger claims.
That said, April Fools suggests a writer interested in compact stage comedy and neatly timed farce. For listeners who enjoy overlooked public-domain drama, Chapman offers a small but distinctive glimpse of light theatrical entertainment from an earlier era.
