Tumble-down Dick; Or, Phaeton In The Suds is a satirical play by Henry Fielding, originally published in 1736. This dramatick entertainment blends elements of farce, political commentary, and mythological allusion, offering a sharp critique of contemporary British society and politics.

The play incorporates interludes featuring Harlequin, adding a layer of comedic chaos and social commentary. Fielding's wit and satirical prowess are on full display as he skewers the powerful and lampoons the follies of his time. Tumble-down Dick stands as a testament to Fielding's skill as a playwright and his enduring relevance as a social critic, making it a valuable addition to the study of 18th-century literature and drama.
