THE RIVALS Free Staged Reading February 8 Plummer Park – Great Hall
The Classical Theatre
Lab presents a free staged reading of “The Rivals” written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan,
directed by Alex Wells. Wealthy captain Jack Absolute pretends to be poor
officer Ensign Beverley to win the romantic Lydia in Sheridan's 1775 comedy,
which also features such characters as oafish Bob Acres, temper-prone Sir
Lucius O'Trigger and Mrs. Malaprop, whose frequent confusion of words and their
meanings coined the term "malapropism." Saturday, February 8 at
2 p.m. Plummer Park – Great Hall, 7377
Santa Monica Blvd., West
Hollywood, CA 90046. Free.
