Quotes & Highlights
- "Gossips murder characters to kill time." The School for Scandal
Description
Love. Sex. Marriage. Infidelity. Not necessarily in that order.
Sir Peter Teazle has taken himself a young wife and is trying to enjoy himself. This in itself is enough to start the scandalmongers talking, but when it is rumored that Sir Peter's wife may be involved in an indiscretion with a handsome young gentleman, the gossips are off and buzzing. A swarm of pretenders, rogues and money-lenders -- Lady Sneerwell, Mr. Snake, Mr. Crabtree, Sir Benjamin Backbite, Mrs. Candour, and the superficial Mr. Surface -- contribute to the highly comic, highly stylized tapestry of deceit. Swirling around are sub-plots and counter-plots, intrigues and alliances, as family relationships and true loves are crossed, if not by the stars, at least by the wires of gossip.
