| Back | A comedy Oliver Goldsmith 1768 Sir William Honeywood despairs of his nephew who is both generous and improvident Young Honeywood is in love with the wealthy Miss Richard but he is too wanting in self confidence to propose The Good-Natur'd Man is a play written by Oliver Goldsmith in 1768. The play was written in the form of a comedy and premiered at the Covent Garden Theatre in 1768, with Mary Bulkley as Miss Richland.[1] It was a middling success for Goldsmith, and the printed version of the play became popular with the reading public. It was released at the same time as Hugh Kelly's False Delicacy, staged at Drury Lane Theatre. The two plays went head to head, with Kelly's proving the more popular.[2] Garrick rejected The Good-Natur'd Man, possibly because the story is an antidote of False Delicasy.[3] |
