In 1912, Irish playwright St. John Greer Ervine wrote The Magnanimous Lover, a short drama about a young woman who stands up for herself against convention and expectation. Critical reaction was mixed.
So Ervine fired back one year later by writing The Critics, a comedy about the supposed experts who turn their nose up at Hamlet because of the bad language and the complete lack of dancing elephants.
