About this book

In this romantic comedy from 1837, three sets of mismatched lovers bicker, woo, spar, and scheme on their way to matrimonial bliss. James Sheridan Knowles, a cousin of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, seems to take a great deal of inspiration from Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” The humor of the piece derives from witty banter and miscommunication as the couples engage in their “steeple-chase of love.” Who will end up at the altar with who? - Summary by Kelly S. Taylor Cast List Sir William Fondlove Algy Pug Waller Alan Mapstone Wildrake Andrew Latheron Trueworth Adrian Stephens Neville Toma
