Details

Reform - a patriotic drama in one act by William Thomas Moncrief first performed at the Royal Coburg Theatre on 14 March 1831. The Factory Lad - melodrama in two acts. A double bill of Georgian political theatre! Moncrieff’s riotously funny allegory of parliamentary corruption openly lobbies for reform with a capital ‘R’, while Walker’s radical melodrama stages the desperate plight (and flight) of theworking class in an age of machinery.
