A farcetta in one act by James Thomas Gooderham Rodwell (died 1825), and George Rodwell (George Herbert Buonaparte Rodwell , 1800–1852)
Contents
The original text
Rodwell would have been 19 years old when he wrote this play, and he was presumably aided by his brother the playwright and theatre manager James Thomas Gooderham Rodwell. Therefore, besides the accreditation given above, the play is also often credited to G Herbert Rodwell only, notably so by Allardyce Nicoll, though many variations of authorship appear in the many printed versions. First performed at the Olympic New Theatre, Strand on 17 February 1819, before playing at other venues, and was published in the same year.
