Reviews
South London Theatre Centre is exactly two and a half years old. In all its history I can recall no more promising an opening than Roger Haines gives us in this week's production of "The School for Scandal".
Here we are in Sheridan's immortal gossip-shop, as realised in a simple and unfussy set designed by D'Auvergine Barnard, and graced by some really lovely costumes by Margaret Leech.
The scene is no more than a few speeches old before we sense we are in the hands of a producer who understands what Augustan comedy is all about.
