The School for Scandal

In a society obsessed with appearances and reputation, rumors spread like wildfire-and no one is safe. In Richard Brinsley Sheridan's masterful comedy, wealthy socialites, cunning lovers, and scheming acquaintances all collide in a whirlwind of lies, mistaken identities, and delicious scandal. At the center of it all is Lady Sneerwell's malicious gossip mill and the honest, good-hearted Sir Peter Teazle, who finds himself entangled in deceit and duplicity. As reputations are ruined and secrets are exposed, Sheridan reveals the absurdities of high society with wit, elegance, and razor-sharp dialogue. First performed in 1777, The School for Scandal remains a beloved gem of English theatre-a timeless play that continues to entertain and critique with equal force.
