Our next production, for Summer 2012, will be Sheridan’s classic and ever-popular comedy of love and deception - The Rivals.

Romance and intrigue combine to produce one of the most brilliant and effervescent comedies ever written for the English stage. Sheridan’s stylish comedy of romantic love and society manners established the playwright’s reputation in the London theatre and has become a timeless satire on the folly of passion and social pretension. The dialogue sparkles with wit and energy as the love lives of the protagonists become ever more complicated. As the curtain opens, it is 1775 and the fashionable world descends on Bath to take the waters and enjoy a little romantic intrigue as three suitors fight for the hand of Miss Lydia Languish.
 
We are delighted to announce that this production will be directed by Antoinette Wilson, who directed our highly-acclaimed production of Marlowe’s Edward II, which was seen at Berkeley Castle, Warwick Castle, Oriel College in Oxford, and at Gloucester Cathedral.

The production will be performed at the Rococo Garden, Painswick from July 17th – 21st 2012.
