The School for Scandal

Beware the gossips! Lady Sneerwell and her hireling Snake are certainly up to no good in this timeless send-up of hypocritical manners. Thanks to their scandal-mongering, the comely Lady Teazle must fend off the slanderous barbs that have caught the ear of her elderly husband―as well as every other gossip in London. What follows is a torrent of mistaken identities and sex-crazed scheming in which the upper classes have never looked so low class.

Francis as Rowley/Others Henri Lubatti as Snake, Moses/Others Christopher Neame as Sir Oliver Surface Moira Quirk as Maria/Maid Julian Sands as Joseph Surface Susan Sullivan as Lady Sneerwell Tara Summers as Lady Teazle Simon Templeman as Sir Peter Teazle James Warwick as Crabtree/Others Matthew Wolf as Sir Benjamin Backbite
