The Good-Natur'd Man is a play written by
Oliver Goldsmith in 1768. The play was written in the form of a comedy and staged at the
Covent Garden Theatre. It was a middling success for Goldsmith, and the printed version of the play became popular with the reading public. It was released at the same time as
Hugh Kelly's
False Delicacy was staged at
Drury Lane Theatre and the two plays went head to head with Kelly's proving the more popular.
Garrick rejected
The Good-Natur'd Man, possibly because the story is an antidote of
False Delicasy.
