THE CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE. A COMEDY, By G. COLMAN AND D. GARRICK, ESQRS. ADAPTED FOR THEATRICAL REPRESENTATION, AS PERFORMED AT THE THEATRES-ROYAL, DRURY-LANE AND COVENT-GARDEN. REGULATED FROM THE PROMPT-BOOKS, "The Lines distinguished by inverted Commas, are omitted in the Representation." LONDON: Printed for the Proprietors, under the Direction of Gift THE CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE. ¡ OF F one of the best Comedies in our language, writ ten by two of the happiest geniuses of the time, though curiosity would wish the knowledge of their several shares in the composition, we can give nothing satisfactory as an answer. If internal evidence point out any thing of this sort, it seems to be that the design, if not even the execu tion of OG LEBY, came from GARRICK. The Comedy, without it, certainly had been good, but it could not have been striking. The praise of the Authors having been awarded, it gives the Writer pleasure to devote one page to the just fame of the Actor. The character, as performed by Mr. KING, is the first comic effort of the Stage. |
