The Rivals
The Rivals is one of the funniest jewels of late-Restoration Comedy. In order to woo the idealistic Lydia Languish who disdains money, Captain Absolute disguises himself as a poor Army officer. Standing between the two lovers is a famous collection of comic characters including Lydia’s quick-tongued aunt, Mrs. Malaprop who often gets her thoughts and words just a little confused.
February 24 and 25 and March 2 and 3 at 7:30 p.m. and February 26 and March 4 at 2 p.m.
