Covent Garden Theatre Season Opens With Farces

Covent Garden opened this season with the comedy She Would and She Would Not and two musical pieces Rofé and Colin and The Wives Revenged. The Scene follows Gregory and Higgins two widowers whose children Rosel and Colin fall in love. After comic misadventure and a staged quarrel they discover the attachment is real and consent to the match. The Wives Revenged features Alderman Tokay and Deputy Dimity wooing neighbour Mr. Vermillion’s wife, with Mrs. Vermillion thwarting their plans and an elaborate bedroom satire.
