The Masquerade: A Comedy is a play written by Charles Johnson and first performed in 1717. The play is set in London and revolves around the characters of Sir John Worldly and his wife Lady Worldly, who are hosting a masquerade ball. The play explores themes of love, marriage, and deception as the characters' true identities are concealed behind their masks. The plot thickens when Lady Worldly's former lover, the French Count, arrives at the ball and attempts to win her back. Meanwhile, Sir John becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife's intentions. The play features witty dialogue, mistaken identities, and humorous situations as the characters navigate their way through the masquerade. The Masquerade: A Comedy is a classic example of Restoration comedy and remains popular among theater enthusiasts and scholars to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
