One of the great English comedies, The School for Scandal demonstrates Richard Sheridan's ingenious use of wit and his superb understanding of stage comedy. The story involves two brothers, Joseph and Charles, who vie for attention of their cousin Maria: Joseph desires her fortune, and Charles desires her love. The play is rich with scenes of mistaken and hidden identity, sudden and unexpected reversals, and a marvelous cast of characters, including Lady Sneerwell, Sir Benjamin Backbite, and Lady Teazle.
