School for Scandal at The College of Charleston in South Carolina - Emmett Robinson Theatre

Authors

• Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The LonDon Gossip scene is buzzing. Masquerading behind the veneer of polite society, malicious prattlers trade gossip like gamblers and ruin reputations for sport.

The School for Scandal was first performed at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 1777 and satirizes the desire for gossip and hypocrisy in eighteenth century fashionable society. Through a host of comic situations, witty dialogue and an intricate plot, no one is safe from the gossip that this group of eccentric characters brings upon themselves.
