| Inhalt: |
| The RivaIs, Sheridan's first play, is a portrait made of material from his own Iife, his scandaIous marriage to a popular singer of the age and the characters he had come to know in the town of Bath. As his biographer Fintan O'TooIe said it was an attempt 'to infIate everything that peopIe though they knew about him into a huge, hystericaI burlesque. Instead of inventing a story and pretending it was reaI, he could present his own reality as if it were an invention.' Sheridan's great satire turns the famiIiar world of arranged marriages, courtship and rivaIry on its head. One of the sharpest and funniest social comedies of the late eighteenth century is presented here in the perfect setting of a theatre built just nine years before the play was written. |
