Members Who Went Said:
The male playing a female role was disquieting only in the first scene—his/her blonde wig was SMASHING and completed the illusion from then on.
Jean Holman Sir and Lady Teazel were great. It was very cute.
Mary Haley I have seen this play before so I am not new to it. I did not like this version because it was very overdone, overplayed and some of the characters miscast. Sheridan is supposed to be over the top, but this was too much. Tom Story should not have been cast as a woman — it did not work. |

More Details About This Event: The School for Scandal
By Richard Brinsley Sheridan Directed by Richard Clifford True loves and true characters are revealed amid gossip, clever pretenses, and ostensibly compromising situations. It's all Surface and Candour in this witty comedy of very bad manners and irresistible folly. This classic, which premiered in London in 1777, is Sheridan's crowning achievement. Cast: Steve Beall -- Bumper/Servant Clinton Brandhagen -- Charles Surface Nathaniel P. Claridad -- Backbite Catherine Flye -- Mrs. Candour Laura C. Harris -- Maria John Lescault -- Crabtree/Moses Hugh Nees -- Oliver Surface Cody Nickell -- Joseph Surface Kate Eastwood Norris -- Lady Teazle David Sabin -- Peter Teazle Margo Seibert -- Maid Theodore M. Snead -- Careless Tom Story -- Lady Sneerwell Shane Wallis -- Snake/Trip |
