Original languageEnglish

True Love, or an Interlude Interrupted is a 1845 Australian play, a comic farce, most likely authored by Edward Geoghegan.[1][2] It has been called "one of the most charming plays" in the collection of early Australian plays at the archives.[3]

The author was accused of plagiarising the play The Manager of Distress (this may be why Geoghegan did not publicly claim authorship).[4]

The Australian said "if the merit of a piece be determined according to the amount of merriment and applause produced among the audience, our Sydney dramatist has every reason to be satisfied with the success of his lucubrations."[5]
