Major John Richardson's 'The Miser Outwitted' Discovered
No full textThe Miser Outwitted by Major John Richardson was advertised for sale in Upper Canadian newspapers in 1841 but no copy has been found. David Beasley, who wrote Richardson's biography, describes how he discovered the anonymous playscript in the Manuscripts Room of the British Library and determined by the handwriting that Richardson was the author. He surmises how it came to be produced at the Queens Theatre, Dublin on 10 May 1848. The play, a one-act farce, is a good example of the entertainment enjoyed by our colonial ancestors in the last century. The theme of a Miser tricked into losing his Money is of perennial interest and enjoys a long tradition in the theatre.
Des réclames pour The Miser Outwitted du major John Richardson parurent dans les journaux du Haut-Canada en 1841. Pourtant, aucun exemplaire n'en avait été retrouvé. David Beasley, biographe de Richardson, explique comment il a pu découvrir la pièce, manuscrite et anonyme, dans le Cabinet des Manuscrits de la Bibliothèque national à Londres et comment il a déterminé par son écriture que Richardson en était l'auteur. Il déduit qu'elle aurait été représentée au Queens Theatre à Dublin le 10 mai 1848. Cette pièce, une farce en un acte, est un excellent exemple du genre d'amusements auxquels se délectaient nos ancêtres coloniaux au siècle dernier. Le thème de l'avare triché de son argent est d'un intérêt constant et sa rattache à une longue tradition théâtrale
