The Recruiting Officer.

Evening out to-night. At the Playhouse, George Farquhar and The Recruiting Officer. George was an Ulsterman, I think he wrote this one about two hundred years ago,from his own experience.

The write ups suggest "country wenches","bawdiness","bed-hopping"and "meddling servants". All takes place in Shrewsbury with Capt.Plume !
