In 1675 Thomas See also:Betterton produced at the same theatre Otway's first dramatic See also:attempt, See also:Alcibiades, which was printed in the same See also:year. It is a poor tragedy, written in heroic See also:verse, but was saved from See also:absolute failure by the actors. Mrs See also:Barry took the part of Draxilla, and her See also:lover, the See also:earl of See also:Rochester, recommended the author of the piece to the See also:notice of the See also:duke of See also:York. He made a See also:great advance on this first See also:work in See also:Don See also:Carlos, See also:Prince of See also:Spain (licensed See also:June 15, 1676; an undated edition probably belongs to the same year). The material for this rhymed tragedy Otway took from the novel of the same name, written in 1672 by the See also:Abbe de See also:Saint-Real, the source from which See also:Schiller also See also:drew his tragedy of Don Carlos. In it the two characters See also:familiar throughout his plays make their appearance. Don Carlos is the impetuous, unstable youth, who seems to be See also:drawn from Otway himself, while the See also:queen's part is the See also:gentle pathetic See also:character repeated in his more celebrated heroines, Monimia and Belvidera. " It got more See also:money," says See also:John See also:Downes (Roscius Anglicanus, 1708) of this See also:play, " than any preceding See also:modern tragedy." In 1677 Betterton produced two adaptations from the See also:French by Otway, See also:Titus and See also:Berenice (from See also:Racine's Berenice), and the Cheats of See also:Sea See also:pin (from See also:Moliere's Fourberies de Scapin). These were printed
together, with a dedication to See also:Lord Rochester.
