Sandwiched In: "The Rivals"

(2004-155 min.). Lydia Languish (Anna Madeley), who has been reading too many romance novels, believes that it would be highly romantic to marry a poor and ineligible lover. Ensign Beverley (Adam Rayner) is just such a man, but little does Lydia realize that Beverley is in reality the well-to-do Captain Jack Absolute! Rachel Kavanaugh staged Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s 1775 play at the Bristol Old Vic; Robin Lough recorded the production.
