The Rivals

Rivalry, chivalry, cowardice, secrecy, love, romance and shameless social climbing...

This mad, bad and funny world created by Sheridan may be over 200 years old, but THE RIVALS still connects with society today.

THE RIVALS features the romantic misadventures of Lydia Languish, her destitute lover Ensign Beverly, and the immortal Mrs. Malaprop, whose habit of choosing the perfectly wrong word has made her a household name. Add to this melting pot an overpowering father, a scheming maid, a country bumpkin and a strutting Irishman and you have all the ingrediencts for a delightful comic romp!

With a stylish set that reflects both the period and the contemporary, vibrant costumes and humorous lessons on social graces, THE RIVALS is guaranteed to be a fabulous night out for all!

This fun and cheeky production opens on the Abbey stage on Tuesday 28 July, with low cost previews from Wednesday 22 July.
