Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The last great playwright of English Restoration-style comedy, Sheridan skewered sentiment and pretension with elegant wit. He also managed Drury Lane Theatre and was a brilliant orator in Parliament. The School for Scandal is the finest social comedy in the English language.
