SUITABLE FOREveryone
Come and sample the sparkling wit and whirlwind plot of The Rivals by Rain and Shine Theatre Company in the grounds of Portchester Castle, Hampshire.
When fashionable 18th century London society comes to take the waters in the spa-town of Bath, comic confusion, daring duels and romantic entanglements abound. At the centre of it all is heiress Lydia Languish, who is determined to elope with the penniless Ensign Beverly rather than marry the eligible Jack Absolute.
Don't miss this Restoration comedy which has delighted audiences for over 250 years with its collection of comic characters, including the formidable Mrs Malaprop, a creation so famous for the way she mangles the English language that her name is now immortalised in the dictionary.
