Fielding's play Pasquin (1736) subtitled A Dramatick Satire on the Times is a famous satirical attack on pantomime which was then in vogue on the English stage. It is one of a series of dangerously political plays that led directly to the passage of the Licensing Act of 1737. The play is set on a stage during a morning play rehearsal. The actors are actually rehearsing two plays a comedy and a tragedy before an overbearing director and some lookers-on. This EasyRead Comfort Edition has been optimized for readers who do not need large type yet prefer a print that does not strain their eyes.
