The Contract Comedy at Theatre Royal Haymarket
Last night a new two act comedy titled the Contract was staged at Theatre Royal Haymarket. A dull plot follows Colonel Lovemore and Eleanor struggling with a contract of marriage until they tear it and arrange for the younger couple Maria and Captain Sprightly to wed, aided by Commodore Capstern. The piece, translated from Defouches, impressed with effort but drew sharp public censure for its heavy plot and insipid characters, though the performers showed diligence.
