The Rivals
by
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Directed by: Grant Fairlie
27th - 31st January, 2015
Lydia Languish yearns for a romantic elopement rather than a more conventional marriage. Thus the wealthy Jack Absolute has wooed her in the guise of impecunious Ensign Beverley. Mrs Malaprop, Lydia's aunt and guardian, disapproves of the attachment, and has forbidden her niece to see this penniless suitor... A Sheridan masterpiece.
