“If I reprehend anything in this world, it is the use of my oracular tongue, and a nice derangement of epitaphs!”When fashionable 18th century London society comes to take the waters in the spa-town of Bath, comic confusion, daring duels and romantic entanglements abound. At the centre of it all is heiress Lydia Languish, who is determined to elope with the penniless Ensign Beverly rather than marry the eligible Jack Absolute. With its collection of comic characters, including the formidable Mrs Malaprop, a creation so famous for the way she mangles the English language that her name is now immortalised in the dictionary.
Pack your bubbly, chairs and picnics and witness the comical confusion of Richard Sheridan’s hilarious masterpiece, The Rivals!
