Richard Brinsley Sheridan Livres
30 octobre 1751 – 7 juillet 1816
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, dramaturge et poète d'origine irlandaise, était réputé pour son esprit et son commentaire social percutant. En tant que propriétaire de longue date du Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, il était profondément ancré dans le monde du théâtre. Ses pièces sont célébrées pour leurs dialogues magistraux, leurs observations satiriques de la société et leur brillante comédie intemporelle. L'œuvre de Sheridan continue de captiver le public par ses aperçus pointus et sa construction élégante.

The Critic
- 112pages
- 4 heures de lecture
The Critic was Sheridan's response to a very specific political and theatrical situation. In the summer of 1779, a Franco-Spanish invasion seemed imminent and patriotic fervour superseded party divisions and personal animosities. The Critic satirises the panic of the summer in the form of the comically misconceived tragedy 'The Spanish Armada' that is in rehearsal in the second and third acts, but The Critic ends with genuine patriotic feeling. This edition traces both the political and the theatrical objects of Sheridan's satire and discusses its reliance (and improvement) on earlier meta-theatrical burlesques like The Duke of Buckingham's Restoration romp The Rehearsal.
This is an updated edition of Sheridan's play, The School for Scandal. It also contains an article written by Dr David Crane, on the original staging, arguing that knowledge of staging and performance requirements is important to an understanding of the play.
