The scene from a 1975 PBS adaptation
May 8– The School for Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1777)
Summary: If your husband thinks you're having an affair, you have to (act like?) you're having an affair to comfort him.
Commentary: I've said it before, but I think coming in at the middle of plays is harder than the middle of novels. This one was funny enough, seems like generic classic theatre plot #252B (The affair), but reasonably executed. Bernard Behrens is in it, and also in the Star Wars radio drama I talked about the other day. Excellent use of music. I'd watch the rest.
