Before Lady Whistledown, there was Lady Sneerwell…
In 1770s London, Lady Sneerwell and her devious friends thrive on ruining reputations and her latest target is the eligible young bachelor Charles Surface. With the help of her accomplice Snake and Charles’ scheming brother Joseph, Sneerwell spreads a scandalous rumor of an affair between Charles and the newly married Lady Teazle threatening his relationship with Maria. Can this scandal be stopped?
This modern take on a classic production brings Sheridan’s comedy of manners into the 21st century proving that scandal is timeless, and the truth wins out in the end.
