The Englishman from Paris

This is an eighteenth-century drama written by a little-known playwright of the time, Arthur Murphy. It was performed only once at Drury Lane Theatre, London, on 3rd April 1756. It was intended to be a sequel to a farce written by Samuel Foote, a close friend of Murphy and an established dramatist.

It features the antics of a young man who returns from Paris with very French and effeminate mannerisms that make him a figure of fun.
