Tento írsky dramatik a libretista sa preslávil najmä svojimi operami a komédiami. Jeho diela, často inšpirované francúzskymi autormi, sa vyznačovali vtipom a chytľavosťou, čo z nich robilo obľúbené kusy pre londýnske divadlá aj pre širšiu britskú ríšu. Spolupracoval s poprednými skladateľmi svojej doby, čím vznikli diela, ktoré definovali ranú anglickú komickú operu a obohacovali divadelný repertoár o nezabudnuteľné postavy a príbehy.
