The Patron: A Comedy in Three Acts is a play written by Samuel Foote and first performed in 1764. The play explores the theme of patronage, a common practice in 18th-century England in which wealthy individuals would financially support artists, writers, and other creative types in exchange for their loyalty and work. The story follows the character of Sir Thomas Lofty, a wealthy patron who takes on a struggling playwright named Harry Dapper as his prot�����g�����. However, things quickly become complicated as Dapper's growing success and popularity threaten to upset the balance of power between the two men. As the play unfolds, we see the characters engage in a series of witty and humorous exchanges, as well as more serious discussions about the nature of art, creativity, and exploitation. Along the way, we also meet a colorful cast of supporting characters, including a scheming servant, a vain actress, and a bumbling rival playwright. Overall, The Patron is a lively and entertaining play that captures the spirit of its time while also offering a timeless commentary on the complex and often fraught relationships between artists and their patrons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
