About this listen

 Step into the whimsical world of Mr H, a delightful farce first performed at Drury Lane in 1806. While the plot may be light and revolves around a rather flimsy joke, the richly drawn characters and witty commentary on contemporary fashion provide ample entertainment, allowing the audience to overlook the storys simplicity. More a comedy of manners than a conventional farce, this charming short play invites you to enjoy a playful exploration of the eccentricities of the Regency period.
