Jack Absolute Flies Again
Written by Richard Bean and Oliver Chris
Directed by Alex Levy
April 8 - 25, 2027
A co-production with Prologue Theatre
From the writer of the Broadway smash hit One Man, Two Guvnors comes a hilarious new play, set in 1940s British summertime. 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. Richard Brinsley Sheridan's classic comedy of manners, The Rivals, is given an uproarious Battle of Britain update by Richard Bean and Oliver Chris. “An enormously loveable show” – Sunday Times.
Presented with generous support from Thomas Pierce and Lu Ann Dillon
