'Wounded myself in the early part of my life by the envenomed tongue of slander, I confess I have since known no pleasure equal to reducing others to the level of my own injured reputation.' Lady Sneerwell
A searing lampoon of a society obsessed by wit, fashion and public reputation. With its glorious cast of characters including Snake, Sir Benjamin Backbite, Lady Candour, and the Surface brothers, this is a timely revival of Sheridan’s high-spirited, comic masterpiece.
Barbican Artistic Associate Deborah Warner returns to the Barbican Theatre following her 2005 sell-out success of Julius Caesar. Her recent London productions include Mother Courage (National Theatre, 2009), Messiah (ENO, 2009) and The Waste Land (Wilton’s Music Hall).
'[Warner] … is making theatre that is an adventure, a journey of the mind, a discovery of other ages, other countries, other people, other minds.' The Sunday Times
