Description

BBC WS - George Farquhar's 'The Recruiting Officer'
Adapted by John Foley
Directed by Gordon House
Broadcast October 16, 2005
Coded from tape at 128/44.1

First produced in 1706.

One of the better restoration comedies. Subtle - it doesn't
depend on excess to get laughs or make points.

1704. Shrewsbury. Two raffish officers of the crown return to
their home town to recruit soldiers. One of their recruits is
the disguised daughter of a local worthy.

This was the first play to be staged in New South Wales. This
detail is alluded to in the preamble.

The BBC R4 series 'Revolting People' is indebted to this play.
