2010 · Film

What it’s about. Elizabeth Freestone's production of Sheridan's classic is a long way from the lace wristbands and fussily flourished bows that used to be conventional for eighteenth-century revivals. Using the same permanent setting as the production of Doctor Faustus with which it plays in repertoire, plus a traverse curtain for front scenes and the addition of some piles of newspapers on top of its bookcases and some splayed pages down by the added footlights to remind us of contemporary scandal sheets, it moves along at a delightful canter, challenging its audience to keep up with its non-stop flow of wit.
Who’s in it. The School for Scandal stars Guy Burgess as Snake, Amy Rockson as Mrs Sneerwell, Harvey Virdi as Mrs Candour and Gareth Kennerley as Sir Benjamin Backbite.
