Bay Area Theatre lovers will be transported to pastoral Britain during the 1940s when Hammer Theatre Center presents the National Theatre Live (NT Live) screening of Jack Absolute Flies Again, a raucous new play written by Richard Bean (One Man, Two Guvnors) and Oliver Chris, directed by Emily Burns. Filmed in front of a live audience at the National Theatre in London, Jack Absolute Flies Again is based on Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s The Rivals, with a cast that includes Caroline Quentin (Jonathan Creek), Laurie Davidson (Guilty Party), Natalie Simpson (Three Sisters), and Kelvin Fletcher (Emmerdale). After an aerial dog fight, Pilot Officer Jack Absolute flies home to win the heart of his old flame, Lydia Languish. Back on British soil, Jack’s advances soon turn to anarchy when the young heiress demands to be loved on her own, very particular, terms.
