Welcome to the School for Scandal, a cadre of social elite who invented influencer culture, catfishing and parasocial relationships 300 years before the rise of social media. Idle Muse sends up celebrity society and the idle rich in this fresh cut of Sheridan's boundary-smashing comedy of manners, which first premiered in 1777. At the School for Scandal, it doesn't matter what's being said — as long as you're the one saying it.
