These two classic comedies by Sheridan are staples of English theatre. The Rivals features witty dialogue and mistaken identities, while The School for Scandal delivers a sharp critique of gossip and hypocrisy in high society. Both plays showcase Sheridan’s brilliant satire, memorable characters, and insightful commentary on human behavior, making them enduring works of 18th-century British drama.Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) was an Irish-born playwright and poet and long-term owner of the London Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. 'The Rival' is a great comedy of manners, and 'The School for Scandal' established his work in London.

       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...
