Well the truth is that he almost never follows procedure but somehow his wit and strength manage to salvage most situations from the bumbling of the other diplomats. His sardonic approach to inter galactic negotiations in these two stories is a delight to hear.

    Subtitled "The Way to Win Him:, this play is placed in Paris - a change from many others of Farquhar's plays which used English settings - though still presented to the same English audience. "This comedy ... had a reception, on the first night of its appearance, far inferior to that of his other productions. It was, with difficulty, saved from condemnation; and the author ... boldly charged some secret enemies with having attempted its destruction." (I can sympathize with the author; I think this play is as complex and funny as all his rest. - thw) - Summary by ToddHW and Mrs Inchbald, a critic of the 1800s Cast list: Old Mirabel: ToddHW Young Mirabel: Tomas Peter Captain Duretete: Craig Franklin Dugard: Nemo Petit: Eva Davis Bravo 1: alanmapstone Bravo 2: tovarisch Bravo 3: Chuck Williamson Bravo 4: Son of the Exiles Oriana: Leanne Yau Bisarre: Sonia Lamorce: Rapunzelina Lady: Availle Page: Sandra Schmit Stage Directions: Kalynda Edited By: ToddHW
