The City Wit
''The City Wit, or the Woman Wears the Breeches'' is a Caroline era stage play, a comedy written by Richard Brome that is sometimes classed among his best works.〔Ousby, p. 117.〕 It was first published when it was included in the ''Five New Plays'' of 1653,〔Not to be confused with the Brome collection of 1659 published by Andrew Crooke and Henry Brome, also titled ''Five New Plays''.〕 the collection of Brome works published by Humphrey Moseley, Richard Marriot, and Thomas Dring.
==Date and performance==
There is no firm evidence on the date of ''The City Wit''; scholars and critics have generally judged the play to be
one of Brome "earliest surviving" plays.〔Steggle, p. 37.〕 It probably dates from c. 1629–32. The acting company that premiered it is similarly unknown – though early in his career Brome was writing for the King's Men, the troupe that staged his ''The Northern Lass'' in 1629. ''City Wit'', like ''Northern Lass'', is unusually rich in music: in the former drama the boy player filling the role of Crack sings no less than a dozen times. The title role of Constance in ''Northern Lass'' shows a comparable richness in music. It is not impossible that both plays were staged by the King's Men, and even that both musical roles were acted by the same vocally talented boy actor.
