The Camp (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419155734)

""The Camp"" is a satirical play written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The play takes place in a military camp during peacetime and follows the lives of the soldiers stationed there. The characters include Captain Camply, who is obsessed with his appearance and reputation, and Sergeant Drill, who is a strict disciplinarian. The play satirizes the military culture, poking fun at the absurdity of the strict rules and regulations that the soldiers must follow. It also explores themes of class and social status, as the soldiers come from different backgrounds and struggle to navigate their relationships with one another. Overall, ""The Camp"" is a witty and entertaining play that offers a humorous critique of military life and society in general.Then should our vaunting enemies come, And winds and waves their cause allow, By freedom's flag we'll beat our drum, And they'll fly from the sound of our row, dow, dow.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
