Colman, George the elder (1732–94), English dramatist and theatre manager, who was attracted to the theatre by his friendship with
Garrick, to whom his first play
Polly Honey-combe (1760) was originally attributed. It was not acknowledged by its author until after the success of
The Clandestine Marriage (1766), which represents Colman's best work. The play was frequently revived, the part of Lord Ogleby, which Garrick refused, considering it not suited to him and leaving it to Tom
King, being a favourite with many leading character actors. To show his displeasure with Garrick, Colman took over
Covent Garden, remaining there until 1774, and producing there a number of good plays, among them those of
Goldsmith. In 1776 he moved to the Haymarket, where notable events of his excellent management were John
Gay's Polly (1777) and some of the early works of his own son George (below).
