 Two years later, Planché's play received considerable recognition from a popular comedian at the time, a John Pritt Harley, whom staged his work at the Drury Lane Theatre on 21 April 1818.At the time of its debut and critically acclaimed success, Planché was invited to the green room at Drury Lane where he was complimented for "Amoroso, King of Little Britain"’s well-admired performances, and was persuaded by John Harley and actor-managers Stephen Kemble & Robert William Elliston to pursue a career in playwriting.Planché pounced at their advice, and wrote several theatrical plays following Amoroso, to no success.
