Elizabeth Inchbald’s 1788 farce is a brilliant riff on the art of deception and of revenge against the patriarchy.

The Doctor - a quack - practices amateur medical techniques on his servant and keeps his beautiful young ward (as well as her maid) under lock and key, intending to force her into marriage. A wealthy (and enamored) young stranger offers an escape route, and when his attendant arrives at the house disguised as an expert in mesmerism, the scene is set for the Doctor to get his comeuppance and the women to achieve their desires.
