The School For Scandal comedy coming to Malvern Theatres

It is directed by Seán Aydon and headlined by stage, film, and TV veteran Joseph Marcell, who is celebrated for his role as Geoffrey the butler in The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.

Audiences have been told they can expect "deliciously naughty and outrageously silly antics" in this fresh take on Richard B Sheridan’s classic comedy of manners.

The play revolves around Sir Peter Teazle, played by Mr Marcell, who suspects his young wife of infidelity.

The ensuing chain of events is a masterclass in social satire and the art of gossip.

The production will run from April 2 to 6, promising an unforgettable cast of larger-than-life characters, each armed with a lacerating wit.

Apart from Mr Marcell, the cast is made up of talented actors including Garmon Rhys, Ayesha Griffiths, Emily-Jane McNeil, Alex Phelps, Lydea Perkins, Tony Timberlake, and Guy Dennys.

The School For Scandal's director, Seán Aydon, is known for his adaptations and directing of national tours of The Picture of Dorian Gray and Frankenstein.

In his hands, audiences can expect a lightning-paced evening of romance, revenge, and rollicking fun with a potential scandalous edge.

Behind the scenes, Linbury Prize winner Sarah Beaton is charge of the design, with sound design and composition by Ed Lewis, lighting design by Peter Small, and movement direction by Stephen Moynihan.

Their collective experience spans acclaimed productions like The Box Of Delights, Killer Joe, and Henry V, promising a visually and auditorily engaging production.

The School For Scandal is produced by Tilted Wig Productions and Malvern Theatres In Association With Theatre By The Lake, known for their collaborations on several critical and commercial successes.
