Sinopsis

''The Histrionade: Or Theatric Tribunal, A Poem'' is a work of poetry written by Marmaduke Myrtle and originally published in 1802. The book is a satirical examination of the theatre world, focusing on the lives and performances of actors and actresses. Myrtle uses the poem to criticize the theatrical culture of his time, highlighting the excesses and vanities of actors and the often superficial nature of their performances. The book is structured as a mock trial, with the characters in the poem being put on trial for their perceived sins and excesses. Through this format, Myrtle is able to explore the themes of vanity, greed, and the nature of performance. ''The Histrionade'' is a unique and entertaining work of poetry that provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of theatre in the early 19th century.Descriptive Of The Principal Performers At Both Houses.
