The Rivals
(A Comedy of Manners)

The story follows the romantic exploits of Capt. Jack, a wealthy young swain who is forced to woo his lover disguised as a poor ensign.  The object of his affection is a rapturously inflamed Lydia Languish who has romantic dreams of elopement, scandal and hounds at the fleeing lovers' heels.  But her aunt, Mrs. Malaprop, has discovered Lydia's illicit correspondence with her disrespectable "ensign" and locked her away until a better suitor can be found.  Enter Sir Anthony Absolute, Jack's irascible father, who proposes his son as a worthy candidate.  Poor Jack is now forced to be his own rival for the hand of his beloved, and intrigues begin.
