Runaway

Runaway

by Hannah Cowley

About this book

The first play by Cowley, this was premiered at Drury Lane by actor-manager David Garrick, to whom it is dedicated, in 1776. It was successful and so she wrote two more plays by the year's end.

George Hargrave wants to marry Emily, a runaway who is now the ward of his godfather. However, his father wants George to marry the rich but much older Lady Dinah. Will true love win out?
