Ivy Substation (Culver City, CA)
The Actors’ Gang presents The Rivals, a comedy of manners first performed in the 1700s. At the time, the play caused a furor for its bawdiness and wicked sense of humor, both of which make it perfect for 2012. Eighteenth century audiences eventually came to adore the comedy, and it became a favorite with the royal family. Now it’s your turn to fall in love with this lighthearted tale of mischief and romance in the fashionable town of Bath. Lydia, who has read entirely too many romance novels, is being wooed by Jack, a nobleman who pretends to be a poor soldier in order to sweep her off her feet. They want to elope, but the moralistic Mrs. Malaprop, who acts as her chaperone, and two rival suitors stand in the way. Many twists, turns, mistaken identities and proposed duels to the death later, everyone comes together for a happy ending.
