Tunbridge Wells (play)

Tunbridge Wells; Or, A Day's Courtship is a 1678 comedy play generally attributed to the English writer Thomas Rawlins.

It was originally staged at the Dorset Garden Theatre in London by the Duke's Company.

[1] It did not enjoy the same success as Rawlins' earlier work Tom Essence.

There a man-about-town Owmuch sets up a couple of London prostitutes posing as a rich widow and her maid, in the hope of collecting the courtship gifts offer by gentleman suitors.

However, he sees a larger scam in tricking a foppish and idiotic baronet Sir Lofty Vainman into marrying her.
