The School for Scandal is a play written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Sheridan’s play is a comedy of manners satirizing the behavior and customs of upper classes through witty dialogue and an intricate plot with comic situations that expose characters’ shortcomings. Characters generally consist of stock types—such as the bore, the flirt, the gossip, the wastrel, the rich uncle, etc.—rather than individuals with unique qualities.
In The School for Scandal, the work mainly satirizes malicious gossip and hypocrisy in the fashionable society of London in the 1770s. The Manhasset High School Theatre production was performed on Saturday, March 21 and a special matinee performance held on Sunday, March 22 which replaced the Friday night debut which was canceled due to inclement weather.
Wonderful set designs and creative set changes were integral in keeping the flow of the production. Bravo to the cast, crew and characters of Scandal. Well done.
