Richard Brinsley Sheridan's classic romantic romp, The Rivals, returns to The Pearl for the hilarious story of Lydia Languish who is... languishing. She can imagine nothing more romantic than eloping with the impoverished Captain Beverly. Little does she know that "Beverly" is really Jack Absolute, a wealthy aristocrat who fears the truth of his identity isn't nearly romantic enough for Miss Languish's taste. How will he win her-from himself?
The production features company members Rachel Botchan, Dan Saily, SEan McNall, Chris Mixon, Joey Parsons and Carol Schultz, along with guest artists Cary Donaldson, JOhn Egan, Kamni Gathesha, Brad Heberlee and Jessica Love.
Dedicated to bringing the classics of world theatre to a growing audience, The Pearl plays a vital role in the cultural life of New York City and its surrounding region by creating productions that explore and illuminate the human condition. The Pearl is an artistic home for a diverse company of theatre professionals, especially a core company of resident actors.
