Sinopsis

'The Rehearsal' by George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, is a celebrated Restoration comedy that satirizes the theatrical conventions and literary pretensions of its time. First performed in 1671, this play within a play follows the aspiring playwright Bayes as he attempts to stage his grandiose and nonsensical tragedy. Buckingham?s wit and sharp social commentary are on full display as he lampoons the popular dramas and playwrights of the era.'The Rehearsal' remains a significant work in the history of English drama, offering both a humorous reflection on the artistic and cultural landscape of the Restoration period and a timeless exploration of the nature of creativity and criticism.
