Captain O'Blunder
Captain O'Blunder or The Brave Irishman is a comedy play by the Irish actor-manager Thomas Sheridan, first performed in the early 1740s at the Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin.[1] It depicts the adventures of a naive Irishman in London.
It is a reworking of the 1704 comedy Squire Trelooby by William Congreve and John Vanbrugh, itself based on a French farce by Molière.
