Miss in Her Teens

Miss in Her Teens; or The Medley of Lovers is a farce (or afterpiece) written in 1747 by David Garrick.

[4] Mary Delany saw Miss in Her Teens in 1747 and remarked of the play in correspondence that "nothing can be lower".

[5] Of Garrick's performance she remarked that "...the part he acts in himself (Mr. Fribble) he makes so ridiculous that it is very entertaining" and added that "It is said that he mimics eleven men of fashion".

[5] A 1798 performance was attended by George III and the British royal family.

[7] In 2014 a feature-length film of the play was released starring Simon Callow as 'The Author', Adam Alexander as 'Captain Loveit', Tori Hart as 'Miss Biddy Belair', Carol Royle as 'Aunt', Alex Hassell as 'The Player', with the prologue narrated by Ian McKellen.
