THE BRITISH THEATRE. UR theatrical department for the prefent month will be rather extensive than other wife, as the managers of our rival theatres have lately entered into a more than cuftomary competition, and, from the circumftance of the Stratford jubilee in honour of our great dramatic bard, taken each a hint of producing a piece for the enter tainment of the town. Mr. Colman's, which is called Man and Wife, or Shake Speare's Jubilee, having appeared first, is therefore entitled to precedence in the order of our narrative. THE CHARACTERS ARE, Mr. Woodward Kitchen marriage of their daughter Charlotte, as well as of matching the young lady agreeable to their own inclinations, propofe two lovers of very different characters to her attention, and infift upon her paying a particular regard to each refpective recommendation; Charlotte, who is fecretly attached to Colonel Freeman, artfully plays upon the credulity of both, pretending to the father that the is defirous of giving a preference to his friend Mr. Kitchen, but that to over-reach her mother the is obliged to fhew a partiality for Mr. Marcourt; and deluding her mother with a reverfe of the declaration, as if nothing but an apparent encouragement of Kitchen could fecure her hand with certainty to Mr. Marcourt: by this duplicity fhe finds means to carry on her intercourfe with Colonel Freeman, who follows her down to S ratford, where her father had taken a house some time previous to the jubilee, that the and Mr. Kitchen might be made parishoners of the place and married without fufpicion during the celebration of that feftival. Charlotte, however, by the affiftance of her maid Lettice, and her little fifter Sally, a child of eleven years old, very dextroufly disappointed both father and mother; being actually married to Freeman, while the one fapposes her gone off in mafquerade with Kitchen, and the other fancies her fafe with Marcourt. This intelligence is communicated by Fleece, a tradesman of the town, who had been employed by Crofs to get the banns publifhed between Kitchen and Charlotte, and who informs his principal likewife that he must be grofsly deceived, as Kitchen's name was not in the inftruction fent him down, but that of Colonel Freeman. Mr. Crofs and his lady are much confounded at feeing their fanRrr2 guine |
