The School for Scandal January 12, 2011

Julian Sands, Susan Sullivan, & Tara Summers star in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 18th Century masterpiece. This sparkling comedy of manners made its debut in 1777 - but its comic look at human frailty and hypocrisy is as relevant today as it was then. Brimming with witty dialogue, mistaken identities, supposed infidelity, eavesdropping and scandal, both real and invented, The School For Scandal is a delightful, madcap and maliciously catty romp. After all, slander and gossip never go out of style. All performances will be recorded to air on L.A. Theatre Works' syndicated radio theater series, which broadcasts weekly on public radio stations nationwide and can be streamed on demand at www.latw.org. Jan. 12-16; Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Brentwood CA 90049; $20-$49; 310.827.0889; www.latw.org
