		Humphrey Otway was rector of All Hallows at Woolbedding, Sussex, and the family, though not great, was of some distinction, being of old Yorkshire stock, with the inevitable Irish connections of the English comic dramatist.At the age of 13 he was entered for Winchester College.
		Thomas fell in love with her; a passion that was to last all his life.
		Otway, having thanked his benefactor, retired, and changed the guinea to purchase a roll; as his stomach was full of wind from excess of fasting, the first mouthful choked him and instantaneously put a period to his days." He is buried in the churchyard of St. Clement Danes.

	Thomas Otway
		HOMAS OTWAY, the rival of Dryden, was the son of the Rev. Humphrey Otway, rector of Woolbeding; and was born at Trotten in West Sussex, in 1651.
		Otway has now lost all credit, and would hardly be remembered at all but for the extreme sterility and affectation of English drama between the age of Shakespeare and that of Goldsmith.
		However--Dryden, so greatly superior to Otway in poetic resource, and Congreve so superior in wit, have neither of them pictures of such exquisite tenderness as a few of Otway's best, such as in the characters of Monimia and Belvidera.

	She-tragedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prominent she-tragedies include Thomas Otway's The Orphan, (1680), John Banks's Virtue Betrayed, or, Anna Bullen (1682) (about the execution of Anne Boleyn), Thomas Southerne's The Fatal Marriage (1694), and Nicolas Rowe's The Fair Penitent (1703) and Lady Jane Grey, 1715.
		In the 1670s and 1680s, a gradual shift occurred from heroic to pathetic tragedy, where the focus was on love and domestic concerns, even though the main characters might often be public figures.
		After the phenomenal success of Elizabeth Barry in moving the audience to tears in the role of Monimia in Thomas Otway's The Orphan (1680), she-tragedy became the dominant form of pathetic tragedy, and she-tragedies remained highly popular for nearly half a century.

		Thomas Otway (March 3, 1652-April 10, 1685), playwright, poet, was born at Trotton, Sussex, where his father Humphrey was either rector or curate at the time.
		We do not know how Otway, whose father was very poor and left him nothing, managed to pay his fees at Winchester and Oxford; in London he probably lived off his patrons and learnt their habits of drunkenness and debauchery.
		Otway was about five feet seven in height and rather fat; his manner is said to have been gentle and charming; some writers have described him as good looking, but the most familiar portrait of him shows a rather pudgy, flat face with a snub nose.

	Thomas Otway Venice Preserv'd Criticism
		Otway chooses as his source a story in which a conspiracy can be condemned and yet the conspirators can seem sympathetic and their accusations against the Senate can appear credible.
		In light of these events, and considering that Otway was a Tory, it might at first seem logical that any rebels he depicted would represent the Whig exclusionists, whose insistence that the crown submit to Parliamentary authority "was barely short of revolution" (Edie 351).
		Harth argues that Otway had no choice but to include the Senate's betrayal of their oath to the conspirators, because the betrayal was in his source (347).

		OF THOMAS OTWAY, one of the first names in the English drama, little is known; nor is there any part of that little which his biographer can take pleasure in relating.
		Men of wit, says one of Otway's biographers, received at that time no favour from the Great but to share their riots; 'from which they were dismissed again to their own narrow circumstances.
		But Otway did not prosper in his military character; for he soon left his commission behind him, whatever was the reason, and came back to London in extreme indigence, which Rochester mentions with merciless insolence in the Session of the Poets:

	Glasgow Citizens Company - Venice Preserved
		Otway makes it clear that the ruling council, of which Jaffeir's father-in-law is part, is worth overthrowing, mainly through very funny scenes between another councillor (a corpulent Brendan Hooper) and a high-class courtesan (Victoria Scarborough, dressed to thrill).
		Otway's point seems to be that all rebellion is tainted and must fail: a cosy half-truth that must be comforting to all conservatives.
		Which is as things should be in Venice Preserved, Thomas Otway's ambivalent 1682 revenge tragedy where those threatening to overthrow the state are driven by motives as questionable as those in power.
