The play features a number of musical numbers, including several parodies of popular songs of the time. Overall, Amateurs and Actors is a witty and entertaining look at the world of theater, and a humorous commentary on the human tendency to take oneself too seriously.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
