Miss Sara Sampson by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729 - 1781) LibriVox G.E. Lessing, widely regarded by students of theater as the world's first dramaturg, was also one of the first proponents of the German bourgeois tragedy. Miss Sara Sampson, in which a young woman runs off with a ne'er-do-well who is still entangled with his former mistress, was a reaction against the Voltarian verse drama popular in the eighteenth century. (Summary by Arielle Lipshaw)Cast:Sir William Sampson: AnthonyMiss Sara Sampson, his daughter: Arielle LipshawMellefont: Algy PugMarwood, formerly Mellefont's mistress: AvailleArabella, a child, daughter of Marwood: Miss AvariceWaitwell, an old servant of Sir William: John SteigerwaldNorton, servant of Fortunate Foundlings by Eliza Haywood Loyal Books A story of love and adventure, following the fortunes of a young man and woman each trying to make their way in the wide world. Horatio and Louisa are twins, abandoned in infancy and adopted by a wealthy bachelor. For various reasons both leave his protection and set off independently: Plucky and determined Louisa must defend her virtue and make her way in a man’s world, and her spirited brother seeks his fortune in the army. This energetic narrative gallops from city to court, from battlefield to convent, and across a number of European countries. Written in 1744 (when the novel was just emerging as a form) by actress and prolific author Eliza Haywood, this is an eighteenth century rollercoaster - action packed, passionate, melodramatic, and often unashamedly sentimental.
