The School for Scandal

By Richard Brinsley Sheridan.

The School for Scandal is one Sheridan’s most performed plays and a classic of English comedic drama. It was produced at Drury Lane Theater, London, May 8, 1777. Sheridan’s phrase “school for scandal” is a grand metaphor for the gossipy London society of the late 1770′s, and the longevity of the play that bears it as its title attests to its relevance in any place and time.
