Publisher's Synopsis
The Genuine Rejected Addresses: Presented To The Committee Of Management For Drury-Lane Theatre (1812) is a collection of satirical poems written by various authors, including the famous poet Lord Byron George Gordon. The poems were originally submitted to the Committee of Management for Drury-Lane Theatre in London as proposals for the opening address of the theatre's upcoming season. However, they were all rejected, and the authors decided to publish them together as a parody of the rejected proposals.The poems in the collection are written in a variety of styles and tones, ranging from witty and clever to absurd and nonsensical. They poke fun at various aspects of theatre and society, including the actors, the audience, and the management of the theatre itself.
