The Rivals

When well-to-do Captain Jack Absolute pretends to be a lowly private soldier to win the heart of Lydia Languish, little does he know that soon, he will become his own rival to her heart. Hilarious confusion swirls around many amorous escapades that reflect as much upon affectation as affection. This celebrated comedy-of-manners also features the wonderful, word-mangling Mrs. Malaprop.
