�������Tis Well Its No Worse: A Comedy is a play written by Isaac Bickerstaff and first performed in 1770. The play is set in London and revolves around the character of Mrs. Riot, a wealthy widow who is determined to marry her daughter, Arabella, to a man of high social standing. However, Arabella is in love with a young man named Tom, who is of lower social status. The play follows the various attempts of Mrs. Riot to prevent the relationship between Arabella and Tom, including enlisting the help of a matchmaker and trying to set Arabella up with a more suitable suitor. Meanwhile, Tom and Arabella must navigate their own obstacles, including Tom's financial struggles and Arabella's desire to please her mother.�������Tis Well Its No Worse is a comedic play that satirizes the upper-class society of 18th-century London. The play features a cast of colorful characters, including a vain and foolish nobleman, a scheming matchmaker, and a group of gossipy society ladies. Overall, �������Tis Well Its No Worse is a witty and entertaining play that offers a humorous commentary on the social norms and expectations of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
