Tender Husband: or The Accomplished Fools, The by Richard Steele (1672 - 1729)

"The Tender Husband is, as a whole, very amusing; but unfortunately a second plot—alluded to in the title—is woven into the story which gives to the play its interest; and as this account of the manner in which the "tender husband" tries the faithfulness of a foolish wife by means of his mistress, disguised as a man, is unwholesome in tone and unnatural, it spoils what would otherwise be an excellent farcical comedy, and at the same time has no real connection with the rest of the play." (G.A.Aitkin from 1894) See if you agree. - Summary by ToddHWCast list:Sir Harry Gubbin, brother-in-law to Mr. Tipkin: Campbell SchelpHumphry Gubbin, son of Sir Harry Gubbin, and suitor to Biddy Tipkin, his cousin: Aaron WhiteMr. Tipkin, a banker, Biddy Tipkin's uncle: Larry WilsonClerimont, Sen: <a href="https://librivo
