The Rivals
By Richard Brinsley Sheridan
A Staged Reading directed by Christopher McMurtry
"If I reprehend anything in this world, it is the use of my oracular tongue, and a nice derangement of epitaphs!"
For the first time ever, Shakespeare Dallas explores Shakespeare's influence on the classical playwrights that followed him. The Rivals is a raucous restoration comedy complete with mistaken identities and hilarious malapropisms to show the ridiculous lengths people will go to in pursuit of a lover.
