The Rivals / The School for Scandal

Book • 1885
"The School for Scandal" is a comedy of manners that satirizes the hypocrisy and scandalous behavior of the upper class.

The play revolves around a group of characters who are more concerned with gossip and reputation than genuine morality.

The plot follows the Surface brothers, Joseph and Charles, as they vie for the affections of Maria, a wealthy heiress.

Through witty dialogue and farcical situations, Sheridan exposes the superficiality and moral bankruptcy of high society, creating a humorous and insightful commentary on human nature.
