The Recruiting Officer was the first play to be staged in the Colony of New South Wales, by the convicts of the First Fleet in 1789. A performance immortalised in Timberlake Wertenbaker's play Our Country's Good.
If the two last acts of this drama were equal to the three first, it would rank the foremost among Farquhar's works; for these are brilliant in wit, humour, character, incident, and every other requisite necessary to form a complete comedy. But the decrease of merit in a play, on approaching its conclusion, is, as in all other productions, of most unfortunate consequence.
