A hilarious comedy of mischief and manners
Tilted Wig & Malvern Theatres in association with Theatre by Lake presentThe School For Scandal, by Richard B Sheridan.
With Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, RSC and Shakespeare’s Globe star Joseph Marcell
Gossip never goes out of fashion.
Sir Peter Teazle (Joseph Marcell) believes his young wife is sleeping with someone else.  She isn’t.
But she’s starting to think if her husband believes it, she may as well give it a go. After all, if you’re going to cause a scandal, you might as well enjoy it…
Deliciously naughty and outrageously silly, this timeless comedy is a masterclass in social satire and the art of gossip. Featuring an unforgettable cast of larger-than-life characters, each armed with a lacerating wit, The School For Scandal is one of the greatest comedies ever written. 

Join us for a lightning-paced evening of romance, revenge and rollicking fun that promises to leave you entertained, enamoured – and perhaps even a little scandalised!
