Context paragraphs:
The Mandrake: The Mandrake (Italian: La Mandragola ] ) is a satirical play by Italian Renaissance philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli.  Although the five-act comedy was published in 1524 and first performed in the carnival season of 1526, Machiavelli likely wrote "The Mandrake" in 1518 as a distraction from his bitterness at having been excluded from the diplomatic and political life of Florence following the 1512 reversion to Medici rule.  Both contemporary and modern scholars read the play as an overt critique of the House of Medici; however, Machiavelli set the action in 1504 during the period of the Florentine Republic in order to express his frustrations without fear of censure from patrons already ill-disposed towards him and his writing.

America Hurrah: America Hurrah is a satirical play by Jean-Claude van Itallie, which premiered at the Pocket Theatre in New York City on November 7, 1966.

The Rehearsal (play): The Rehearsal was a satirical play aimed specifically at John Dryden and generally at the sententious and overly ambitious theatre of the Restoration tragedy.  The play was first staged on December 7, 1671 at the Theatre Royal, and published anonymously in 1672, but it is certainly by George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and others.  Several people have been suggested as collaborators, including Samuel Butler of "Hudibras" fame, Martin Clifford, and Thomas Sprat, a Royal Society founder and later Bishop of Rochester.

Sotie: A sotie (or sottie) is a short satirical play common in 15th- and 16th-century in France.  The word (compare modern "sottise") comes from the "sots", "fools", who appeared as characters in the play.  In the plays, these fools would make observations and exchange thoughts on contemporary events and individuals.  Shorter plays, sometimes referred to as "parades", need not have any plot at all, but relied simply on a detached dialogue.  The genre has its origin in the Feast of Fools and other Carnival-related festivities.  The purpose of these events was to present a world turned upside-down, in this case with the fools as fonts of wisdom.  The fools were dressed in grey robes, and wore a hood with donkey ears.

The Government Inspector: The Government Inspector, also known as The Inspector General (original title: Russian: Ревизор , "Revizor", literally: "Inspector"), is a satirical play by the Russian and Ukrainian dramatist and novelist Nikolai Gogol.

Based upon an anecdote allegedly recounted to Gogol by Pushkin, the play is a comedy of errors, satirizing human greed, stupidity, and the extensive political corruption of Imperial Russia.
