The play, considered to be one of the finest of late 18^th century British comedies, revolves around Lady Sneerwell’s house, which becomes the school for all kinds of gossiping and rumor-mongering as Charles and Joseph Surface maneuver to win the affections of Maria, the ward of Sir Peter Teazle.  Sir Peter, meanwhile, believes that Charles has designs on his wife, Lady Teazle.  And when the Surface brothers’ uncle, Sir Oliver, returns from India in disguise, the plot takes a turn toward the hilarious. 

Sabin Epstein, one of America’s leading stage directors of classical drama and resident director of San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theatre, will direct. Mr. Epstein comes to Trinity as part of the Stieren Arts Enrichment Series.
