The Rivals
Comedy
by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

A romance told with unconventional 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.
