		Sir Charles Sedley was born in London in 1639.
		Following the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660, Sedley became an intimate of the king, one of the band of "Wits" led by the Duke of Buckingham who all engaged in nightly “conversations” and debauches.
		Sedley wrote four of the latter, the best of which was the 1687 comedy Belllamira, a brilliant adaptation of Terence’s The Eunuch, itself derived from a lost play by Menander.

	[minstrels] Phyllis is my only joy -- Sir Charles Sedley
		Sedley was an active supporter of William and Mary at the time of the 1688 revolution.
		Sedley's plays span the period 1668-87; notable among them is Bellamira (1687), a racy, amusing rehandling of the theme of the Eunuchus of the Roman playwright Terence.
		Sedley though aware of what his lover is up to, still allows her to have her way of practicing some form of deception.

	Sir Charles Sedley - LoveToKnow 1911
		An indecent frolic in Bow Street, for which he was heavily fined, made Sedley notorious.
		The king had seduced his daughter and created her countess of Dorchester, whereupon Sedley remarked that he hated ingratitude, and, as the king had made his daughter a countess, he would endeavour to make the king's daughter a queen.
		See The Works of Sir Charles Sedley in Prose and Verse (1778), with a slight notice of the author.

		The closest immediate follower of Etherege in comedy is Sir Charles Sedley, whose earliest comedy, The Mulberry Garden, 1668, is based, in part, on Molière’s L’École des Maris and is written in that mixture of prose and heroic couplets which Etherege introduced in his Comical Revenge.
		An intimate in the chosen circle of the king, Sedley was as famous for his wit as he was notorious for the profligacy of his life.
		Nevertheless, he appears to have been a capable man of affairs and, as a writer, gained a deserved reputation alike for the clearness and ease of his prose and for a certain poetic gift, more appreciable in his occasional lyrics than in the serious parts of his dramas.

		Lord Carlisle was Charles Howard, the 3rd Earl of Carlisle (1669-1738), who was the owner of the Carlisle White Turk (probably known also as the Acaster Turk), and probably the Carlisle Barb (probably a different horse, also known as the Strickland Turk) as well.
		Sir William Strickland lived at Boynton Hall in Yorkshire, near York, and served as an M.P. for Carlisle.
		He is described in the GSB as "...a foreign horse, of Sir W. Strickland's, also as Carlisle's Barb, about 1712." His description, and his covering date that produced Bat (1723) indicate he was the same horse as the Carlisle Barb (not, however, the same as the Carlisle Turk).

	George Etherege
		The success of the play was very great, but Etherege waited four years before he repeated his experiment, meanwhile gaining the highest reputation as a poetical beau, and moving in the circle of Sir Charles Sedley, Lord Rochester, and other noble wits of the day.
		The Man of Mode, or Sir Fopling Flutter, indisputably the best comedy of intrigue written in England before the days of Congreve, was acted and printed in 1676, and had an unbounded success.
		Sir Fopling Flutter was a portrait of Beau Hewit, the reigning exquisite of the hour; in Dorimant the poet drew the elegant Sir Charles Sedley, and in Medley a portrait of himself; while even the drunken shoemaker was a real character, who made his fortune from being thus brought into public notice.

		The sexually open-minded Sedley isn't discouraged to learn Kynaston is a man, but he is bitterly angered by the actor's flip rejection of his advances.
		While she lacks Kynaston's dramatic skills, the daring of her appearance on-stage creates a sensation, and King Charles II (Rupert Everett), a noted theater buff, is so taken with Hughes that he declares women should play women from now on.
		But as Hughes' star rises, Kynaston's quickly falls, and he becomes a bitter, forgotten man. When the novelty of Hughes' gender wears off and her failings as an thespian become obvious, she turns to her former friend Kynaston, hoping he can teach her to be as good an actress as he was.
