Description
Scandaltown by Mike Bartlett is a comedy that explores the complexities of reputation and social standing in contemporary London. When Miss Phoebe Virtue receives worrisome news about her twin brother's activities, she decides to investigate, setting out on a journey to uncover the truth. Set against the backdrop of post-pandemic London, this play delves into themes of illicit sex, political hypocrisy, and the machinations of a fame-hungry elite. With its witty dialogue and sharp observations, Scandaltown is a humorous take on the social hierarchies that govern our lives. First produced by the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in 2022, this play has been praised for its insightful commentary on modern society.
