This witty and satirical play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan is a hilarious send-up of the theatre world, starring the pompous and pretentious Mr. Puff as he attempts to mount a doomed production of his latest play. George Atherton Aitken's stage adaptation remains true to Sheridan's original vision, and delivers laugh-out-loud moments that will delight audiences of all ages.
