""The Dupe"" is a comedic play written by Frances Chamberlaine Sheridan. The story follows the character of Sir Toby Bumper, a wealthy but naive man who is easily manipulated by those around him. His close friend, Lady Sneerwell, takes advantage of his trusting nature to further her own selfish goals, while his love interest, Maria, must navigate her own way through the complicated web of deceit and manipulation that surrounds Sir Toby. As the plot unfolds, the characters scheme and plot against one another, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mistaken identities. With its witty dialogue, engaging characters, and clever plot twists, ""The Dupe"" is a classic example of 18th century comedy that continues to entertain readers and audiences to this day.Sharp.
