Kelly, Hugh (1739–77), an Irishman who came to London in 1760. His False Delicacy, produced by Garrick in 1768, is a sentimental comedy with a triple plot in which the mistakes arise from excessive tact or delicacy. Kelly also wrote A Word to the Wise (1770) and The School for Wives (1773).

Kelly, Hugh (1739–77), English playwright, whose sentimental comedy False Delicacy (1768) was produced at Drury Lane by Garrick in the hope of emulating the success of Goldsmith's The Good-Natur'd Man at Covent Garden. Though now forgotten, for a time it eclipsed its rival: it was produced in the provinces, revived in London, and translated into French and German. Of Kelly's other plays the best was The School for Wives (1773), which most nearly approached the true spirit of the comedy of manners.
