The School for Scandal
| By Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Directed by Amy Seham |
| Rumor, innuendo, lies, friends betraying friends - is it a drama ripped from today's headlines? No, it's The School for Scandal, Richard Brinsley Sheridan's delightful comedy of manners. This eighteenth-century comic masterpiece is a wonderful blend of sharp social satire and sentimental romance. Twentieth-century tabloids might take a lesson from Lady Sneerwell, Mrs. Candour, Mr. Snake or Sir Benjamin Backbite in the fine art of gossip-mongering! For timeless and timely humor, The School for Scandal is in a class by itself. |
