School for Scandal

Set in 1777 London, Sheridan's play takes us on a journey through London society of the time. Sir Peter Teazle has taken himself a young wife, which in itself is enough to start the scandalmongers talking. But when it's rumored that Sir Peter's wife may be involved in an indiscretion with the handsome young gentleman Joseph Surface, the gossips are off and running. Acting as the social barometers of London, Lady Sneerwell, Mrs. Candour, Crabtree and Sir Benjamin Backbite hiss and spit their way through the play, taking aim at unsuspecting targets and hitting their marks every time.
