Runaway - Hannah Cowley

from Runaway · host Hannah Cowley

The first play by Cowley, this was premiered at Drury Lane by actor-manager David Garrick, to whom it is dedicated, in 1776. It was successful and so she wrote two more plays by the year's end. George Hargrave wants to marry Emily, a runaway who is now the ward of his godfather. However, his father wants George to marry the rich but much older Lady Dinah.

The Stranger August von Kotzebue This sentimental drama, written by the prolific German dramatist, August von Kotzebue (a friend of Ludwig von Beethoven,) was originally published under the title “Menshenhass und Reue.” When the play was translated into English in the late 1790s, it quickly became a runaway success in both Great Britain and the United States and remained a staple of dramatic companies for most on the 19th century. The fairytale-like plot, with its story of lost love, concealed identity, crushing guilt, and healing redemption, charmed generations of tearful Victorian theatre-goers. - Summary by Kelly Taylor Cast List The Stranger HelloCentral Count Wintersen Algy Pug Baron Steinfort Tomas Peter Solomon Beeswaxcandle Peter Alan Mapstone Francis Greg Giordano Tobias Larry Wilson George Inkell William Inkell Mrs. Haller Wendy Katz Hiller Countess Kelly S.
