Read by A. Naouai. Duration: 2 hours, 42 minutes. An MP3 CD in English.Richard Brinsley Sheridan was a famous English playwright, orator and politician. "The School for Scandal" is one of the highlights of English satirical literature. The entire play is permeated by a desire to expose the hateful bigotry, greed and hypocrisy of high society. To do so, Sheridan didn't need to create complex plot schemes with intricate twists and turns. He only had to present on stage secular life, a world of intrigue, the machinations of the aristocracy, destroyed reputations, thwarted weddings, gossip and rumors, a society in which there is no greater pleasure than to discredit others. This comedy is the only play from the 18th century English repertoire that is still performed on the English stage today. In English.
