A riotous classic costume drama set in Regency Bath with languishing ladies, frivolous fops, furious fathers, cunning servants, wayward young lovers...and of course, the marvelous Mrs Malaprop madly mangling maxims to achieve maximum mirth!

The Rivals is a story of love, disguise, disinheritance, duels, and deception. In this intricate comedy, all is not what it seems, but as the confusion unravels, they all live happily ever after.
