The Transproser Rehearsed Or The Fifth Act Of Mr. Bayes�������s Play (1673) is a satirical play written by Richard Leigh. The play is a parody of John Dryden's play ""The Conquest of Granada"" and is set in a rehearsal of a play written by Mr. Bayes. The play within the play is a farce and the characters are exaggerated and ridiculous. The play mocks the conventions of the theater, including the use of stock characters and cliched plot devices. The characters in the play within the play constantly interrupt each other and the action is constantly being rewritten. The Transproser Rehearsed Or The Fifth Act Of Mr. Bayes�������s Play is a witty and entertaining commentary on the theater and the art of writing plays.Being A Postscript To The Animadversions On The Preface To Bishop Bramhall�������s Vindication, Etc., Showing What Grounds There Are Of Fears And Jealousies Of Popery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
