This man wrote an adaptation of a Restoration comedy in which Tom Fashion competes with his brother Lord Foppington for a wealthy woman, entitled A Trip to Scarborough. This librettist of The Duenna also wrote a work that sees the rehearsal of a play in which the actors may rework the script as they like and is entitled The Spanish Armada. That work features the playwrights Sir (*) Fretful Plagiary and Mr. Puff as well as Mr. Sneer and Mr. Dangle, who have the titular profession. In addition to The Critic, another work by this playwright sees Sir Oliver and Sir Peter Teazle discover Joseph's dishonesty while Charles Surface wins the hand of Maria, despite Lady Sneerwell's gossip, while a play set in Bath sees Captain Absolute's attempts to marry Lydia Languish disrupted by her aunt Mrs. Malaprop. For 10 points, name this eighteenth century English playwright of The School for Scandal and The Rivals.
