Fortune's Foor at Covent Garden Theatre Opens with Applause

On Saturday October 29 Covent Garden staged the new comedy Fortune's Foor by Mr. Reynolds. The crowd greeted the first performance with loud applause and hearty laughter. The cast features Ap Hazard Lewis Quick Fawcett Middleton Macready and Miss Morris among others. The dramatic satire targets eccentric figures of the day with broad humor and pointed ridicule, mixing comedy and farce. The piece follows Ap Hazard the foolish hero whose schemes are doomed by bad luck and Tom Seymour the Thames sailor whose home is frozen. Sir Bamber, a learned critic, and Sir Charles Danvers, a fortune fallen, are central figures in the satire.
