About this book

A Collection of Farces and Other Afterpieces is a multi-volume anthology of the short comic plays of the Georgian theatre, selected and edited by Elizabeth Inchbald (1753-1821), the actress, playwright, and novelist who was also the leading dramatic editor of her generation. After her success with the twenty-five-volume British Theatre, the publisher Longman engaged Inchbald to edit the standard farces and afterpieces, the short comedies that followed the main play on every Georgian evening's bill. The collection preserves the working repertory of Drury Lane, Covent Garden, and the Haymarket: pieces by Garrick, Foote, Murphy, O'Keeffe, and their fellows that are otherwise hard to find. The anthology is a primary source for the performance culture of the eighteenth-century London stage.

Elizabeth Inchbald

Elizabeth Inchbald was an English actor, playwright, novelist, critic, translator, and theatrical editor. A Simple Story, published in four volumes in 1791, established her as a novelist attentive to authority, conscience, and emotional restraint; Nature and Art followed in 1796 with a sharper comparison of social privilege and moral judgment.
