A day in the life of a circle of socialites swooping in on the fashionable city of Bath, to take the waters, find romance and have a jolly good gossip! No, it's not another modern day 'docusoap', it's Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 18th century hilarious masterpiece The Rivals.

Confusion, duels, madness and mayhem ensue in Sheridan's first and most famous play, packed full of the most extraordinary comic characters. Enter Mrs Malaprop with her famous twisted phrases, her niece Lydia Languish who is busy falling in love with the handsome Captain Jack, who himself is being pushed around by his explosive father Sir Anthony Absolute.

After several misinterpreted love letters, cross-conversations and an organised street fight, the day ends with each suitor happily paired off and country bumpkin, Bob Acres, throwing a big party for them all!

With Creative Cow's slick, fast-paced, inventive and stylised signature on the most fashionable comedy ever written, The Rivals is one show not to miss!
