Excerpt from Intrigue: Or, Married Yesterday; A Comic Interlude, in One Act; As Performed at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane
The plot of Intrigue is of French origin; but it has been so varied, to adapt it to the English stage, that it retains but few traces of its original. The characters, such as they are, are different; and the dialogue has been entirely re-written.
The extraordinary indulgence with which this piece was received on its first representation, must in a great degree, be attributed to the spirited manner in which it was acted: and I trust the gentlemen, to whose exertions I profess myself indebted, will not think it invidious if I particularly mention Miss Kelly (the only lady in the piece), and express my obligations to her for a performance, as useful to me as it has been creditable to herself.
