It’s also fascinating to witness this, the very first Rogers & Hart musical comedy, just to see where this talented pair was back in 1925, particularly since we know what heights they are headed for: the blissful silliness of The Boys from Syracuse and the dazzlingly artistry of On Your Toes can all be glimpsed in Dearest Enemy. And finally– -- and not at all incidentally -- this is a delightful show, filled with Hart’s trademark wit and Rodger’s trademark melody, modestly if not-so-neatly packaged in a very old-fashioned, creaky libretto that nevertheless has charm and the occasionally potent gag. The songs include "Here in My Arms" and "Bye and Bye," two airy love songs that are vintage Rodgers & Hart; Gilbert-and-Sullivan-esque chorales like "Cheerio" and "Full Blown Roses"; and several punchy comedy numbers (such as "Here the Hudson River Flows," which gets mileage out of the show’s setting, which is New York City in 1776, making jokes about the forests of Manhattan and the wilds of the Bronx).

I have never seen this production... though but the story seems like something that you might be interested in.

I was all excited when I thought I could impart my wisdom of 1776. :(
So I can't think of any. And I polled my friends and they came up with (drum roll) nothing!
I'm sure you'll find something out there, but there aren't any other major works.

This wasn't 18th century, but it was close.
Beginning in 1688 and continuing on to 1693 were the Salem Witch Trials, told about in the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller
