The Secret (Classic Reprint).cW T Moncrieff
Excerpt from The Secret The plot of this amusing little piece is of some edticuity. It forms the basis ci Calderons comedy "E Exxdida y la Tapida," and was used by Isaac Bickerstaff in his play of Tis Well Its no Worse, produced at Drury Lane in 1770. The celebrated John Philip Kemble embodied the story in his play of The Panel, acted in the year 1788. Mr. King and Mrs. Abington were distinguished in their characters, and the piece was played several nights. Moncrieff again reduced the incidents, and formed the present agreeable farce of "The Secret" from the tragedians comedy. Some fifteen years' since, a musical piece, under the title of "Hide and Seek," and containing the whole plot of "The Panel," was performed at the English Opera House, with some success. Mr. Poole was accused of using the principal incidents in his farce of "A Hole in the Wall," but the author of "Paul Pry" indignantly denied the plagiary in question - but at the same time forgot to acknowledge his obligations to the -"Braggart Captain" of Plautus, from which piece he borrowed the entire plot of "The Hole in the wall."
