Richly exploited comic situations, effervescent wit, and intricate plots combine to make Sheridans work among the best of all English comedy.

This edition includes his most famous plays, The Rivals, The School for Scandal, and The Critic, as well as two lesser known musical plays, The Duenna and A Trip to Scarborough.
