The Rivals: A Comedy

Description

Experience the wit of Richard Brinsley Sheridan in The Rivals, one of the most enduring comedies of the 18th century. Set in London and Bath, the play follows the tangled romantic entanglements of Lucy St. Leger and her suitors, Sir Anthony Capragiano and the earnest Captain Petivera. As Sir Anthony pursues Lucy with his extravagant charm and Petivera struggles to win her with sincerity, the plot thickens with the involvement of the charming Archdeacon Mirabell and the comic meddling of Sir Major and Sir Follet.\n\nSheridan's masterpiece is a brilliant comedy of manners that satirizes the follies of the aristocracy and the absurdities of courtship. The rapid-fire dialogue, witty repartee, and delightful character archetypes have made The Rivals a favorite of theater troupes and literary enthusiasts alike. Whether you're a fan of classical comedy or simply in the mood for a laugh, this EPUB edition brings the full text of one of the greatest comedies ever written right to your device.
