"Speed the Plough" by Thomas Morton is a comedy written in 1798 and first performed in 1800. This five-act play weaves together romantic entanglements and family secrets in the English countryside. When ploughman Henry overhears a mysterious conversation about his unknown origins, he becomes drawn into the orbit of Sir Philip Blandford, who harbors dark secrets from his past. Meanwhile, Robert Handy must choose between marrying for money or love, while his
father's inventions and new marriage create comic complications throughout. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
