This is a review purely for The School For Scandal. The play is a part of the required reading for my English Literature course at Uni and this edition contains very helpful critical and contextual material.
The play itself is an amusing comment on society and it's obsession with surfaces, to the extent in which two characters are known as the Surface brothers. Standing in society becomes a game, manipulated by the Middle-Upper Class. As the play progresses, it becomes clear these individuals are slowly being beaten at their own game, leaving them all with nothing but their surfaces.
If you can get over the older tone of writing, this is worth a read.

Any rating less than 5 ⭐️'s for Sheridan's 'The School for Scandal' demands a reread. Sharp, witty, hilarious, and entertaining, 'The School for Scandal' is as close to 18th century comedic perfection as one can find.

3.5. I loved The Rivals, The Critic was cute but dated, and I could not get into The School for Scandal.
