'The Hypocrite' by Isaac Bickerstaff is a reworking of the play 'Non-Juror' by Colley Cibber itself inspired by Moliere's 'Tartuffe'. The original play derived much of its humour from the politics of the era and so Bickerstaff altered the role of Doctor Wolf to Doctor Cantwell a hypocritical Methodist. With authentic descriptions of the costumes and stage directions as well as an illustration prior to the work depicting Act V. Scene I. The second play is titled 'The Wife's Stratagem' by English playwright John Poole and is altered from 'The Gamester' by James Shirley a noteworthy play for its realistic and detailed picture of gambling in its era.
