The Rivals

About

Sheridan's sparkling comedy of manners, brimming with Romantic entanglements, is brilliantly brought to life by Exeter Drama Company.

Hoping to win Lydia's affection, Captain Jack woos the pretty miss by pretending to be a penniless ensign named Beverley, an act that nearly incites a duel with Acres. His actions also provoke serious objections from Lydia's aunt, Mrs. Malaprop, a misspeaking matron whose ludicrous misuse of words gave the English language a new term: malapropism.

Ultimately, the hilarious complications are resolved in a radiant comic masterpiece that will entertain and delight theatre devotees and students of English drama alike.
