By Samuel Foote. A Farce in Two Acts. First performed 1762. While Foote indicated that the theme was taken from Lope de Vega, it was really founded on Richard Steele's adaptation of Pierre Corneille's Le Menteur, which in turn was based on La Verdad Sospechosa by the Spanish-American playwright Juan Ruíz de Alarcón, (1634).
