by James Robinson Planché. Subtitled a "Serio-Comick, Bombastick, Operatick Interlude", it was probably inspired by Rhodes's Bombastes Furioso (Rhodes, 1816). Originally written for an amateur performance at a private theatre, it was subsequently performed at Drury Lane, London in 1818. The production was a success and persuaded Planché to take up play-writing full-time.
