The School For Scandal

A story filled with love, honour, revenge, gossip, romance, truth and lies. The School For Scandal is a bawdy romp through the lives and loves of a group of young aristocrats in the fashionable society of London in the 1700's and remains as fresh and funny today as when it was first written.

Fast paced and highly entertaining, The School For Scandal mixes mistaken identities, unrequited love and domestic strife.

Critics Review

  "The innovative Bruiser company have brilliantly set
   this cutting satire...like a Gillray cartoon brought 
   to life." 
  "[The characters] take on a multitude of roles in a 
   virtuoso display of verbal intricacy and theatrical 
   inventiveness."
   The News Letter

  "This is very powerful physical theatre."
  "...excellent on-stage synergy and lively performances." 
   The Irish News

  "..Martin Mooney has crafted a slyly glinting adaptation 
   of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 18th century comedy of 
   manners for a 21st century audience."
