“Treachery 101, lots of fun in The School For Scandal”

The Role Players Ensemble Theatre in Danville is currently presenting a brilliantly clever restoration comedy, The School for Scandal, by the very articulate author, renowned orator and British parliamentarian, Richard Brinsley Sheridan…

This is a very complicated play and certainly a very ambitious play for community theatre.

There are 15 diversely comic and intriguing characters in this farcical story about sibling rivalry, love, lust, fidelity, infidelity, and artificial relationships…

Director Sue Trigg has done an excellent job of selecting cast members capable of providing full meaning to their characters. This is an outrageous farce, a grand comedy and for the most part, it is carried off very well. (more…)
