Sweethearts is a comic play billed as a "dramatic contrast" in two acts by W. S. Gilbert. It was first produced on 7 November 1874 at the Prince of Wales's Theatre in London, running for 132 performances until 13 April 1875. It enjoyed many revivals, thereafter, into the 1920s. The first professional production of Sweethearts in Britain in recent memory was given in the spring of 2007 at the Finborough Theatre in London, along with a rare professional production of Sullivan's The Zoo. This romantic comedy of manners was written for Squire Bancroft and his wife Marie (nee Wilton), managers of the Prince of Wales's Theatre, and starred Mrs. Bancroft. Gilbert wanted his friend John Hare to play the male lead, but the Bancrofts were not satisfied with him and cast Canadian Charles Francis Coghlan instead.
