This comedy is an ingenious blending of two plots, one concerning the young, country-bred wife of a middle-aged husband who is taught town manners by a "school" of scandalmongers, the other concerning the amorous and financial adventures of the Surface brothers, whose contrasting reputations also contrast with their true characters.

 ★ Reviews for Sheridan,_Richard_B.
Sheridan's phrase "school for scandal" is a grand metaphor for the gossipy London society of the late 1770's, and the longevity of the play that bears it as its title attests to its relevance in any place and time.
Sheridan captures the inherent drama and humor in the truism that people are always talking about other people behind their backs and uses it as a foundation on which to devise a plot of intrigue.
Sheridan employs some typical comedic devices like love triangles and hiding characters, but for the most part this is an inventive play that picks its targets well and hits the bullseye every time.

Richard Sheridan's play "The Duenna" has inspired the imaginations of at least three opera composers over the past 200 years: Thomas Linley, Serge Prokofiev, and Roberto Gerhard, but only Prokofiev's version has managed to elbow its way into the opera repertoire.
The Duenna was originally a comic ballad opera based on a play by Sheridan with music partly written and partly arranged by Sheridan's father-in-law Thomas Linley and other composers.
The Duenna (adapted by the composer from Sheridan, with additional lyrics by Christopher Hassall), was given studio performances by the BBC in 1949 and again in 1951 in a slightly revised form.
