   Scenes from The Enchanted Cottage (a fable, in three acts), written by the   British playwright Arthur Wing Pinero (1855-1934), and performed at the Duke of York's Theatre, London, from 1st March to 22nd April 1922, starring  Owen Nares/B.A. Meyer, in conjunction with Philip Michael Faraday.

   The Enchanted Cottage is a 1920 play by the British writer Arthur Wing Pinero, who called it a fable in three acts. It has a single setting, with nine speaking characters. The story concerns a maimed young officer and a dowdy village girl, who marry and find love in spite of their afflictions, after undergoing a disillusionment. 

   The play was first produced in London's West End by Owen Nares and B. A. Myer, in association with Philip Michael Faraday, during March 1922. The author himself staged the production. It had original incidental music composed by Sir Frederic Cowen. Owen Nares and Laura Cowie starred, with Nicholas Hannen and Jean Cadell in support. It ran through April 1922, when Faraday had to give up tenancy of the theatre in which it played.
