as part of Theatre From London
Part of the Theatre From London Series: A rollicking new comedy by Richard Bean (ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS) and Oliver Chris (TWELFTH NIGHT).
July 1940. After an aerial dog fight, Pilot Officer Jack Absolute flies home to win the heart of his old flame, Lydia Languish. Back on British soil, Jack’s advances soon turn to anarchy when the young heiress demands to be loved on her own, very particular, terms.
Featuring a cast including Caroline Quentin, Laurie Davidson, Natalie Simpson, and Kelvin Fletcher, Emily Burns (THE COMBACK) directs this spectacularly entertaining new version of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s THE RIVALS, captured live from the National Theatre stage.
