Kensington Gardens, Or The Pretenders: A Comedy is a play written by John Leigh in 1720. The story is set in Kensington Gardens, where two young men, Tom and Jack, pretend to be the Duke of Buckingham and the Earl of Rochester, respectively. They attempt to woo two women, Lady Charlotte and Lady Harriet, who are also pretending to be someone else. Lady Charlotte is pretending to be a shepherdess, while Lady Harriet is pretending to be a gypsy. The play is full of mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and humorous situations. It satirizes the social norms and conventions of the time, particularly the pretensions of the aristocracy.
