- Jack-Absolute-Flies-Again-Stamford-Shoestring-Theatre
An uproarious tale of derring-do and romance.
It’s July 1940, and after an aerial dog fight Pilot Officer Jack Absolute flies home to win the heart of his old flame, Lydia Languish. But Jack’s advances turn to anarchy when he meets up with his fellow officers and their girlfriends on the RAF airbase at Malaprop Hall. Based on Sheridan’s classic play The Rivals, with the famous characters of Mrs Malaprop and Sir Anthony Absolute, this hilarious new comedy was first performed with outstanding success at the National Theatre in 2022.

An amateur production by arrangement with Concord Theatrical Ltd. on behalf Samuel French Ltd.
