The School For Scandal: A COMEDY

By Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The School for Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan is a dazzling comedy of manners that satirizes the gossip, hypocrisy, and superficiality of the upper classes in 18th-century London. The play centers around a web of rumors, romantic entanglements, and mistaken identities involving the wealthy Surface brothers--one seemingly virtuous, the other openly rakish. With wit and theatrical flair, Sheridan exposes how appearances can be deceiving and how society often rewards those who manipulate the truth. Packed with memorable characters such as Lady Sneerwell and Sir Peter Teazle, the play is a sharp and entertaining critique of social pretenses and idle gossip. First performed in 1777, The School for Scandal remains one of the greatest comedies in the English language and continues to be performed around the world for its timeless humor and insight.
