The Rivals (Seattle Shakespeare)
George Mount will direct Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s 18th-century comedy of manners, full of false identities and well-meaning deceptions, and, as the producers say, “duels, dandies, deceptions, and dudes with daddy issues.” It’s the play from which the term malapropism is derived, thanks to Mrs. Malaprop, a comic character who uses the wrong words that sound like the right ones.
