-“Dandy Dick” was the third of the farces which the English dramatist and director wrote for the old Court Theatre [https://archive.org/details/dandydick_1709_librivox].
+The play was the third of a series of farces which the English dramatist and director wrote for the old Court Theatre [https://archive.org/details/dandydick_1709_librivox]. It tells of an impecunious clergyman who, having preached against gambling, uncharacteristically places a bet on his sister's horse horse "Dandy Dick". This leads to all kinds of hilarious trouble, including a time spent in the local police cell.
