Gossips, hypocrites, liars, and lovers populate one of Great Britain’s classic theatrical works! Sir Peter Teazle’s marriage is not even a year old and it is already on the rocks: Lady Teazle is quickly falling for the charms of the dashing young Joseph Surface. But Joseph is only playing her to get to Maria, who stands to inherit a fortune. But Maria is in love with Joseph’s brother, Charles, the prodigal son that no one wants Maria to marry. Stirring it all up is the venomous Lady Sneerwell and her cadre of backbiters, who spin a web of malicious slander that threatens the happiness of everyone they encounter.
