Details

In the figure of the honest and good-hearted Job Thornberry, Colman offered his audience a comforting vision of the English national character: robust, virtuous and quick to oppose injustice. Not just a rollicking comedy, John Bull powerfully staged the nation at a time when England was imperiled by the growing power of Napoleonic France.
