The School for Scandal

By Richard Brinsley Sheridan

This comedy of manners has the general theme of the absurd behaviour of scandalmongers. Lady Sneerwell opens the play by complaining of how she has been wounded by slander while she is plotting with Joseph Surface to discredit his brother Charles in order to stop him marrying Maria, an heiress and ward of Sir Peter Teazle. Joseph is an arch hypocrite and is paying court to Lady Teazle, an ex-country maid and now leading scandalmonger, in order to get to Maria himself. Maria, however, loves Charles, a wastrel.
