A riotous new wartime comedy!
By re-imagining Sheridan’s ‘The Rivals’ to an RAF squadron stationed at a Sussex country house during the Battle of Britain, Richard Bean and Oliver Chris create something every bit as uproarious and ribald as Bean’s ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’.
July 1940. After an aerial dog fight, Jack Absolute flies home to win the heart of his old flame, Lydia Languish. Jack’s advances soon turn to anarchy when the young heiress demands to be loved on her own, very particular terms.
Expect laughter, tears, thrills and spills, a hectic jitterbug contest, feisty females, dashing flying officers, hilarity, derring-do, romance, and a wooden duck – all underpinned by the urgency to defeat Mr. Hitler and find true love and happiness complimented by some of the finest 'Malapropisms' you will ever hear.
Book early – this is not to be missed.
Contains adult humour and some naughty words!!!
Recommended for 15+
Robert Tremayne directs this spectacularly entertaining new version of Sheridan’s 'The Rivals'. Featuring a cast including Vicky Newman, Lauren Whedbee, Mollie Simpson and David Upcraft. (full casting details available soon)
"One of the funniest productions in the National’s history"
In collaboration with 'The Vagrant Muse' we are very happy to announce our latest venture 'The Muses of Dionysus' (see what we did there?). Our first production in this new partnership will be the gripping play 'Lungs' by Duncan Macmillan which will have its premiere as part of Brighton Fringe. More details and tickets will be on sale soon, stay tuned!
"I could fly to New York and back every day for seven years and still not leave a carbon footprint as big as if I have a child. Ten thousand tonnes of CO2. That's the weight of the Eiffel Tower. I'd be giving birth to the Eiffel Tower".
In a time of global anxiety, terrorism, erratic weather and political unrest, a young couple want a child but are running out of time. If they overthink it, they'll never do it. But if they rush, it could be a disaster. They want to have a child for the right reasons. Except, what exactly are the right reasons? And what will be the first to destruct – the planet or the relationship?
Performed by Sarah Palette & Robert Tremayne
