Midas: An English Burletta In Two Acts; The Golden Pippin; The Two Misers: A Musical Farce (1771) is a collection of three plays by the Irish playwright Kane O'Hara. The first play, Midas, is a comedic retelling of the Greek myth of King Midas, who was granted the power to turn everything he touched into gold. The play follows Midas as he struggles with the consequences of his newfound wealth and the loss of his loved ones. The second play, The Golden Pippin, is a lighthearted farce about a young woman who is courted by two suitors, one of whom is disguised as a farmer. The play is full of mistaken identities, witty banter, and comedic misunderstandings. The third play, The Two Misers, is a musical farce about two wealthy but miserly brothers who are tricked into spending their money by a group of clever con artists. The play is full of slapstick humor, clever wordplay, and catchy songs. Overall, Midas: An English Burletta In Two Acts; The Golden Pippin; The Two Misers: A Musical Farce (1771) is a delightful collection of plays that showcases O'Hara's talent for writing witty, entertaining comedies.Also Contains: The Deserter: A Musical Drama; The Wedding Ring: A Comic Opera; The Waterman Or The First Of August: A Ballad Opera.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
