The Deaf Lover, a Farce in Two Acts - pocketboek

Excerpt from The Deaf Lover, a Farce in Two Acts: As Performed at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden

The following little piece meeting with uncommon success, after having been withdrawn from the stage, it may be expected that the author will say something by way of apology for the scene, which in its former state was deemed exceptionable; it was almost a literal translation from the Poulet, a dramatic proverb, and pronounced by men of unquestionable judgement an excellent situation; but nothing is so difficult to decide on with certainty, as the effect any incident will have in representation. Much as was thought of the Poulet in the closet, it was much disliked on the stage, and the piece consequently withdrawn for alteration. Fortunately for the author, he has succeeded in his second attempt to please, and the farce is once more in possession of the stage.
