The Critic Or A Tragedy Rehearsed

""The Critic Or A Tragedy Rehearsed"" is a play written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, first performed in 1779. It is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the conventions and pretensions of the theatre world. The play follows the story of a group of actors who are rehearsing a serious tragedy, but are constantly interrupted by a pompous and clueless theatre critic who is determined to impose his own ideas on the production. Along the way, the play skewers everything from bad acting to overwrought stage effects, and offers a witty and irreverent take on the theatre industry. With its sharp wit, clever dialogue, and playful tone, ""The Critic Or A Tragedy Rehearsed"" remains a beloved classic of English theatre, and a testament to Sheridan's skill as a playwright and satirist.SNEER.
