Three Hours After Marriage

''Three Hours After Marriage'' was a restoration comedy, written in 1717 as a collaboration between John Gay, Alexander Pope and John Arbuthnot, though Gay was the principal author. It premiered in 1717. The play is best described as a satirical farce, and among its satirical targets was Richard Blackmore.
''Three Hours After Marriage'' tells the story of Dr Fossil, a pompous ageing scientist, who has just married a much younger woman, who is then immediately beset by two rival suitors who try to win her affections. The wife and suitors then go to comical lengths to hide their intentions from Dr Fossil.〔
==Initial reception==
The play received seven sell-out performances, then a record for the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and influenced ''The Author's Farce''. Critical reception was less friendly. Charles Johnson, in the preface to the published version of his ''The Sultaness'' called ''Three Hours'' "Long-labour'd Nonsense" and it was also attacked in Leonard Welsted's 1717 ''Palaemon to Caelia, or, The Triumvirate'' and in the ''Poetical Register'' by Giles Jacob, who stated that it included scenes that "trespass on Female Modesty".〔Kilburn, Matthew. "Giles Jacob" in Matthew, H.C.G. and Brian Harrison, eds. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. vol. 29, 546-7. London: Oxford UP, 2004 - page 547〕 This view of the play as obscene became the majority view, and it would not be given a major performance again until 1996.
