Sheridan's lucky star was in the ascendant, however, for on January 17, 1775, at the Covent Garden Theater, The Rivals was produced. The first performance was not a success. It was too long and the part of Sir Lucius O'Trigger was poorly played. On January 28, a second performance proved a complete success, establishing both play and playwright in the favor of fashionable London.

Sheridan bears the label, not so much the poet; but, "British dramatist and politician." He bought the Drury Lane theatre from Garrick in 1776-78. Sheridan's greatest dramatic work was The School for Scandal. In 1780, Sheridan was elected to parliament, and in 1782 became the under-secretary for foreign affairs under Rockingham. He was noted for the speeches he made in the house, particularly on the impeachment of Hastings, and on the French revolution.
