Book Description

Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) was a man with many roles. He was not only a playwright and poet, he was also a Whig Member of the British House of Commons and owner of the London Theatre Royal on Drury Lane. Though born in Ireland, Sheridan and his family moved outside of London when he was seven. Both of his parents were theatrical influences for him, as his mother was a playwright and novelist, and his father was at one time an actor. In 1722, the character of Sheridan's intended fiance was challenged by Captain Thomas Mathews. The result was two duels, the first left both parties unscathed, while the second resulted in bloodshed, though Sheridan was the resounding winner. "St. Patrick's Day, or The Scheming Lieutenant" was first acted in May 1775 and was written for a charitable cause.

Book Description

Bri. No, give me a husband that knows where his limbs are, though he want the use of them--and if he should take you with him--to sleep in a baggage cart, and stroll about the camp like a gipsey, with a knapsack and two children at your back--then by way of entertainment in the evening, to make a party with the Serjeants wife, to drink bohea tea, and play at all fours on a drumhead, 'tis a precious life to be sure.
