About The Book

As playwrights David Garrick and George Colman the Elder showed themselves to be practical men of the theatre providing excellent acting parts and well-constructed scenes capable of provoking laughter in any age. At one time they were rival managers of the two main London theatres Drury Lane and Covent Garden but their friendship was greater than their rivalry and survived until Garrick''s death. This volume includes five plays: three short farces by Garrick a full-length play by Colman and the famous collaborative work The Clandestine Marriage. The playwrights'' abilities complemented each other and their eventual parting illustrates the divergence of comic styles that were popular at the time the satirical and the sentimental. In his introduction Mr Wood describes the composition and expectations of the contemporary London audiences and the theatrical careers of the two playwright-managers.
