The greatest eighteenth-century comedy never produced!' A young heiress loses her fortune, and suddenly the wedding is off and relationships begin to unravel. A fatuous aunt, a pretentious poet, a gossiping landlady, an hysterical lover -- if Sheridan had mounted this at Drury Lane as he wanted to, it would have been a hit. But Burney's father prevented her plays from ever appearing on the wicked stage ... until now. This Acting Version "breathes life into Burney's long lost text." -- BSECS.org.uk "Wholly delightful." -- Stage Door "A marvelous, hilarious treat." -- The Medium
