Listening to BBC radio adaptation of The School for Scandal (1777!) by Richard Brinsley Sheridan.

BBC Radio 3 - Drama on 3, The School For Scandal

Rosalind Ayres and Martin Jarvis direct Sheridan’s amazingly up-to-date comedy.

I liked this remark about laughing at a joke which comes at another's expense...
"To smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another’s breast is to become a principal in the mischief."
