	§6. Richard Brinsley Sheridan: "The Rivals". XII. The Georgian Drama. Vol. 11. The Period of the French ...
		The Rivals (1775) is a comedy of incident, the excellence of which is partly to be found in the action.
		As each figure moves and speaks on the stage, the reader is conscious of a coterie whose shibboleth was distinction—a coterie whose conversation regarded the most commonplace topics as worthy of its wit, which abhorred eccentricity and smiled at all those who, like Fag, Sir Anthony, Faulkland, Mrs.
		The plot was taken from Wycherley’s The Country Wife, and, though the dialogue has much of Sheridan’s brilliant phrase-making and whimsical humour, the chief literary merit of the play must be sought in the lyrics, with their vigorous directness and touch of classical culture.

	Review: The Rivals by James Naughtie \| Special Reports \| Guardian Unlimited Politics
		Apparently, Mandelson's "desertion" of Brown during the Labour leadership campaign was not the "final breach" between the two men; that came in the Chewton Glen Hotel when, at a meeting intended to heal old wounds, Mandelson sidetracked discussion of a paper that Brown had prepared on the future organisation of the party.
		Gordon Brown - acknowledged in The Rivals as the author of "tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime", the phrase that made Blair famous - told me years ago that he had explained to his old friend the "need to acknowledge the importance of changing society as well as individual effort".
		Books such as The Rivals are calculated appeals to the political voyeur inside everyone who is interested in the workings of democracy.

		Edited by Alan S. Downer, this edition of The Rivals for performance and study also includes an introduction, a list of principal dates in the life of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and a selected bibliography.
		Downer argues that Sheridan envisioned The Rivals as a series of comic scenes, not necessarily a tightly woven plot.
		His later version was more successful and today The Rivals is one of the few English comedies from that period that continues to interest modern audiences.

	The Rivals Summary & Essays - Richard Brinsley Sheridan
		The Rivals, a comedy in five acts, established Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s reputation in the London theatre in 1775.
		When the first performance was not well received, Sheridan cut it by an hour, strengthened the idiosyncratic characters, and produced the new version in a highly successful second performance that proved his merit as a great comic playwright.
		The Rivals is an example of what Oliver Goldsmith called in his 1773 "An Essay on the Theatre," "laughing comedy," in contrast with the "weeping sentimental comedy" that dished out heavy handed moralizing in every act.

	The Rivals
		Written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan in 1775, and for centuries, accepted by English scholars as a hilarious play, "The Rivals," has been a favorite example (by professors) of a scintillating comedy of manners.
		You have the adorable couple who must hide their love; the aristocratic and domineering aunt, the famous Mrs Malaprop, who supposedly is the funniest character in the play; the loud and boisterous, controlling father who arranges a worthy (money) match for his son to Mrs.
		Malaprop's niece, heiress to a fortune; and the so-called hero, the romantic lad secretly in love with the heiress, who outwits his father by posing as a rival to himself.

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - The Rivals - 8/10/06
		As this reviewer noted in a 2004 review here, The Rivals, Richard Brinsley Sheridan's wise and witty comedy, so well combines verbal wit with buffoonish high jinks that it has remained an active staple of the English language stage for over 200 years.
		Although their positions and relationship initially make them appear to be quite opposite, Bourg as the dictatorial, dominating father and Wilson as the determined not to be dominated son make it clear that the pair are actually two sides of the same coin.
		For each scene, one of the doors is rolled front and center, turned around and opened to reveal a room design for the house in which it is set.

		I don't know whether Bath was as fashionable a social scene in the 1920s as it was in the 1770s, when Richard Brinsley Sheridan chose the spa as the setting for his comedy The Rivals.
		The Rivals is filled with such emotionally profound situations lurking beneath its sparkling surface; and Clements' production goes far in capturing them.
		Perhaps because the play, and the production, throw all this out when they tie up the many strands of the plot too neatly at the end.

		Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 1775 comedy The Rivals is, on the textual level, about as funny today as it must have been when first presented.
		In stripping away the layers of artifice from human interactions to reveal the core of either idealism or realistic common sense beneath, Sheridan has explicitly defined the boundaries of an eternal struggle for humanity: What Is versus What Might Be.

Theater offers a remarkably fresh and illuminating take on Richard Brinsley Sheridan's classic comedy of manners that sparkles with robust humor.
		As staged by Matthew Arbour, the action is an unfailing delight, a romp rich in physical detail and amusing characterizations.

		Being a woman of her time, she'd also be likely to have praised the play's evolutionary theme of women's literality but wonder whatever happened to the proto-Feminist catalogue at the end!
		Whatever personal or political themes might be subliminally woven into the play, ever since The Rivals premiered in January 1775 it has been regarded as one of the best plays in the English canon.
		Naturally, with authoritarian fathers, conniving servants, squabbling lovers, phantom rivals and aliases abounding, the screwball events lead to a six-way duel among Acres vs. his rival "Beverley," Jack vs. Sir Lucius, and Faulkland vs. anyone who comes down the pike.
