The Rivals, Sheridan's first play is a portrait made from material of his own life; his scandalous marriage to a popular singer of the age and the characters he had come to know in the town of Bath. A romance told with great wit and emotion, The Rivals is one of the funniest jewels of late-Restoration comedy. In order to woo the idealistic Lydia Languish, to whom wealth means little, Captain Absolute offers himself to her as a poor Army officer. Standing between the two lovers are an extraordinary collection of comic characters: the captain's acrimonious father, Sir Anthony Absolute; Lydia's quick-tongued aunt, Mrs. Malaprop; and the affable Bob Acres, the captain's friend turned rival. Review What an amazing resource to have. I have recommended it to a number of teachers of A Level Drama at a recent meeting. Thank you for this great facility. You have been such a help. The Rivals is so beautifully performed and staged. You have made a very exhausted Drama teacher very happy!!!!!!! --Louise Webb --Louise WebbRachel Kavanaugh's elegant, nimble-footed production is the best account of Sheridan's play I've seen. Peter McKintosh has designed a spacious Georgian set; in the background, a soft Gainsborough sky. This is a treat. --The Sunday TimesHERITAGE THEATRE'S latest release is a filming of this summer s Bristol Old Vic production of Sheridan's The Rivals directed by Rachel Kavanaugh.
