St. Patrick's Day; Or, The Scheming Lieutenant: A Farce in One Act by Sheridan
"St. Patrick's Day; Or, The Scheming Lieutenant: A Farce in One Act" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan is a play first performed in 1775. Lieutenant O'Connor loves Lauretta, but her jealous father Justice Credulous keeps them apart. With help from the sentimental Dr. Rosy, O'Connor devises elaborate disguises to outwit the obstinate Justice and win his beloved. Through mistaken identities and comic deceptions, the scheming lieutenant pursues his romantic goal in this lighthearted
farce of love, trickery, and domestic chaos. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
