A Mad Couple Well-Match'd
''A Mad Couple Well-Match'd'' is a Caroline era stage play, a comedy written by Richard Brome. It was first published in the 1653 Brome collection ''Five New Plays'', issued by the booksellers Humphrey Moseley, Richard Marriot, and Thomas Dring.
==Date and performance==
Hard evidence on the play's date of authorship and first stage production is lacking. The 1639 list of plays belonging to the Beeston's Boys company includes an otherwise-unknown play titled ''A Mad Couple Well Met'', which some scholars have taken as a mistake for Brome's play.〔James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps, ''A Dictionary of Old English Plays'', London, J. R. Smith, 1860; p. 159.〕 (Matthew Steggle observes that "the two phrases are variants of the same proverb.")〔Matthew Steggle, ''Richard Brome: Place and Politics on the Caroline Stage'', Manchester, Manchester University Press, 2004; p. 155.〕 Brome is known to have written for William Beeston's company at the Cockpit Theatre during the final phase of his career; they staged his last play ''A Jovial Crew'' in 1641. Most critics accept the later 1630s as the likeliest time for the authorship of ''A Mad Couple Well-Match'd''.
