has abstract	The Virtuoso is a Restoration comedy by Thomas Shadwell, first produced at Dorset Garden Theatre in 1676 by The Duke's Company. Well received in its original production, it was revived several times over the next thirty years and "always found Success." The original cast included Anthony Leigh as Sir Formal Trifle, Cave Underhill as Sir Samuel Hearty, Thomas Betterton as Longvill, Thomas Jevon as Hazard, Thomas Percival as Sir Nicholas Gimcrack, Anne Shadwell as Lady Gimcrack, Elizabeth Currer as Clarinda and Mary Betterton as Miranda. Shadwell is acknowledged as the most topical of the major Restoration playwrights and the uniqueness of The Virtuoso lies primarily in its highly relevant satire on contemporary science and on the Royal Society, which, founded in 1660, was of great interest to Restoration audiences. Shadwell was also known as the Restoration's leading advocate of Ben Jonson's style of humour comedy, in which each humorous character displays one unique and excessive folly. In his dedication to The Virtuoso, Shadwell claimed that he had created four entirely new humours characters, by which he meant the titular virtuoso Sir Nicholas Gimcrack, Sir Formal Trifle (described in the cast list as "the Orator, a florid coxcomb"), Sir Samuel Hearty ("a brisk, amorous, adventurous, unfortunate coxcomb; one that by the help of humorous, nonsensical bywords takes himself to be a wit"), and Sir Nicholas's uncle Snarl ("an old, pettish fellow, a great admirer of the last age and a declaimer against the vices of this, and privately very vicious himself.") Though some critics believe that Sir Nicholas is an inconsistent character, of the four, his is the character with the most significant literary legacy. Scholars have discerned the influence of Sir Nicholas in the works of numerous subsequent playwrights, including Thomas d'Urfey, Lawrence Maidwell, Susanna Centlivre, Aphra Behn, and Peter Pindar.
