Postscript to the Editor on The Busy Body Decency
A reader rebukes the Theatrical Review for judging decency by stage dialogue in The Busy Body. He cites quoted scenes and notes Sir George Airy Miranda and Sir Francis Gripe in acts, arguing decency is violated by the play’s plot and language, not its execution.
