The Broadway Theatre Archive: School For Scandal

First performed in 1777, Richard Brinsley Sheridan's sophisticated comedy of manners satirizes the extravagance and corruption of London society. The School For Scandal's combination of elegant language and earthy comedy weaves a deliciously nasty tale of intrigue, slander and clandestine love affairs. This timeless, witty look at the wages of scandal mongering, social climbing, scheming and hypocrisy stars Emmy-nominees Blair Brown (The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd) and Kenneth Welsh (Twin Peaks) and Emmy-winner Larry Gates (Cat On a Hot Tin Roof).
