Love in Several Masques: A Comedy, As it is Acted at the Theatre-Royal, in Drury-Lane. Written by Mr. Fielding | 
pick(1728) Fielding's first play is a comedy and just the sort of thing you expect from the period: romantic rivalry complicated by disguises, forgeries, misunderstandings, and money, all of it soaked in witticisms and wordplay. It's fun, and coaxed several chuckles from me, but I will also probably have forgotten everything about it by the end of the week.
