Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816), dramatist and politician, was born in Dublin on 30 October 1751, and educated at Harrow, 1762-1768. A production of his comedy The rivals was a failure in 1775, but he found success that year with The duenna, which played for seventy-five nights at Covent Garden. After acquiring a controlling share in the Drury Lane Theatre in 1776, Sheridan ran successful productions of his plays The rivals, A trip to Scarborough and The school for scandal, 1777; The critic, 1779; and Pizarro, 1799. He was elected M.P. for Stafford in 1780, and was appointed Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, 1782, and Secretary to the Treasury, 1783. Sheridan was M.P. for Westminster, 1806-1807, and Ilchester, 1807-1812, and Treasurer of the Navy, 1806-1807. He died at Savile Row, London, on 7 July 1816.
