The School for Scandal

Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s 1777 social satire is presented by the Bridge Theatre Company. This classic play about romance and inheritance traces the malicious (though delightful) antics of Lady Sneerwell and her scandal-mongering followers. Directed by Jeffery Jones, The School for Scandal focuses on ambivalence towards scandal. Is it an art form? Can it be socially redemptive? Or is it responsible for the downfall of civilization? Maybe it’s all three.
