Details

This play is a delightful 'romp' full of wonderfully drawn comic characters. It was first performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1776. Mr Sterling, a self made man, has two daughters, the younger daughter has married secretly and this clandestine marriage must not be revealed until his elder daughter is safely married. After much coming and going and mistaken identities, the play is resolved in truly farcical style.
