Bag om The Critic Or A Tragedy Rehearsed

""The Critic Or A Tragedy Rehearsed"" is a play written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, first performed in 1779. The play is a satire of the theatre and its critics, following the story of a group of actors who are rehearsing a new play but are constantly interrupted by a pompous and clueless critic named Mr. Puff. Throughout the play, Mr. Puff offers his opinions and suggestions on how the play should be performed, despite having no experience in the theatre. His comments are often nonsensical and contradictory, causing chaos and confusion among the actors. The play also includes a subplot involving a love triangle between the lead actress, her lover, and a rival actor who is jealous of their relationship. ""The Critic Or A Tragedy Rehearsed"" is known for its witty dialogue and clever satire, poking fun at the theatre's conventions and the critics who often misunderstand them. It remains a popular play in the theatrical canon and has been adapted for film and television several times.SNEER. Most obligingly communicative indeed; and your confession if published, might certainly serve the cause of true charity, by rescuing the most useful channels of appeal to benevolence from the cant of imposition.--But surely, Mr. Puff, there is no great mystery in your present profession?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
