Changeling Theatre is delighted to present Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s The School for Scandal at Riverhill Gardens.
“Smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another’s breast”
Lady Sneerwell is in love with Charles who’s in love with Maria. Joseph is in love with Maria who’s in love with Charles. Clearly, all is not peachy on the romantic front.
Would-be suitors Lady Sneerwell and Joseph devise a plot to ruin Charles and Maria’s relationship through gossip and lies. Creating a scandal of epic proportions.
Sheridan’s meticulously crafted play is a razor sharp, highly entertaining satirical comedy. In the age of fake news this is the play to see. It will have you in stitches from beginning to end!
Changeling’s creative director Rob Forknall says: “The School for Scandal is a story of gossip and scandal-mongering for power and manipulation with very little regard for the people it affects. In the age of post truth and fake news this is the play to be revisited. This genius political satire and comedy of manners will be energetic and gloriously funny. I’m also incredibly excited to team up with Jam on the Marsh for the first time to compose brand new music for both shows.”
Changeling Theatre produces high quality, entertaining theatre in non-traditional locations for community audiences across South East England. Productions range from re-interpretations of Shakespeare and modern classics to working with new writers and composers to create innovative new theatre.
The amphitheatre style terraces of our enchanting Walled Garden are the perfect setting for some hilarity under the stars.
We open The Walled Garden at 6.00pm for you to make yourselves at home and take in the views whilst you enjoy your picnic with friends and family before settling down under a cosy blanket to enjoy first rate theatre - the perfect combination.
Please bring rugs or chairs to sit on and don't forget warm layers and blankets for when the evening draws in.
You are welcome to bring your own picnic and alcohol.
