About the author

George Farquhar

d. 1707

Best known for the sparkling comedies The Recruiting Officer and The Beaux' Stratagem, this Irish playwright brought unusual warmth and energy to Restoration theater. His work still feels lively for the way it mixes wit, romance, and a sharp eye for human behavior.
