This Afterpiece - a short play to follow a main production - was first produced in 1746
and was based on Regnard's comedy le Legetaire Universel, moving from scene to
scene with little effort at logical consistency or structure but treating each scene
autonomously for its own comic value. The rather long Prologue makes fun of the
convention of 18th century prologues by the dodge of having actors chatting as though
they were in the Pit waiting for the actors in the main play to dress for the afterpiece.
