"The Parson's Wedding,...a pre-restoration play,...[and very popular during the Restoration] is a comedy of almost unexampled coarseness, a quality which the author had not found in his source, Calderon's Dama Duende." http://www.bartleby.com/218/0506.…

"The Parson's Wedding is a Caroline era stage play, a comedy written by Thomas Killigrew. Often regarded as the author's best play, the drama has sometimes been considered an anticipation of Restoration comedy, written a generation before the Restoration; "its general tone foreshadows the comedy of the Restoration from which the play is in many respects indistinguishable."
