The School for Scandal

1777
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
The School for Scandal (see She Stoops to Conquer for more details)
C+

Ladies and gentlemen gossip, worry about money, and have (or attempt to have) romantic intrigues.  The characters are less interesting than in She Stoops to Conquer, although I do like some of the witty lines, particularly in the "auction scene."  Also notable for having a relatively sympathetic Jewish character.
