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.
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 In the summer of 1779, a Franco-Spanish invasion seemed imminent and patriotic fervour superseded party divisions and personal animosities.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 edition of the complete plays of Sheridan, English dramatist, theatre manager, and politician, includes The Rivals and The School for Scandal, as well as six lesser-known works: St. Patrick's Day, The Duenna, A Trip to Scarborough, The Camp, The Critic, and Pizarro. the only one available in paperback B
