The Critic Or A Tragedy Rehearsed is a play written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, first performed in 1779. The play is a satire on the theater and the critics who attend it. The story revolves around a group of actors rehearsing a new play, which is a tragic drama called The Spanish Armada. The play is full of clich�����s, bad acting, and ridiculous plot twists. The actors are constantly interrupted by a pompous and self-important critic named Mr. Puff, who tries to convince them to change the play to suit his own tastes. The play is a hilarious commentary on the state of the theater in the late 18th century, and is still performed today as a classic example of British comedy. The Critic Or A Tragedy Rehearsed is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of theater or British literature.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.
