''Sullivan'' was a three-act comedy by Anne-Honoré-Joseph Duveyrier de Mélésville, based on the short story ''Garrick Médecin''. It was first played at Paris, in the Théâtre-Français, November 11, 1852. The original cast was: *Nicol Jenkins, ''a wealthy merchant'' - Mr. Provost * *Lèlia, ''his daughter'' - Ms. Favart * *Sullivan, ''a comic actor from Drury Lane Theater'' - Mr. Brindeau * *Sir Frédéric Dumple, ''nephew of Jenkins'' - Got * *Saunders, ''a broker'' - Anselme *Mistress Saunders, ''his wife'' - Mrs. Thénard *Merwyn, ''a silks merchant'' - Mr. Montet *Miss Pénélope, ''his sister'' - Ms. Joussain *Peacock, ''a lawyer'' - Mr. Mirecourt *Little-John, ''Jenkins' valet'' - Castel *Dickson, ''Sullivan's valet'' - Mathien *An Alderman *Servants Though ''Garrick Médecin'' had focused on the adventures of actor David Garrick, de Mélésville did not wish to do a historical piece, and so used the then-contemporary Shakespearean actor Barry Sullivan as his subject, though he changed the character's first name in the play to ''George'', probably to avoid any possible legal troubles. A few years after it was produced, ''Sullivan'' was adapted into the English play ''David Garrick'' by Robertson, with Garrick returned to the leading role. == External Links == (Sullivan, first edition (in French) - Google Books ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sullivan (play)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
