Twin-Rivals
by George Farquhar
Welcome to Twin-Rivals, a delightful comedy originally produced at Drury Lane on December 14, 1702. Celebrated for its accuracy, this play by Farquhar masterfully weaves a seemingly improbable plot with engaging dialogue and lively characters. The Younger Wouldbe, Mrs. Mandrake, and Teague leap off the page with such authenticity that they feel like real people rather than mere creations of the stage. While the play features an attempted rape that is treated with an unexpected levity, it also includes an epilogue that offers a sincere apology to women, reminding us that it’s all in good fun—entertainment meant to be taken with a grain of salt. Join us for a humorous exploration of social dynamics, relationships, and the folly of human nature as we present a comedy that, despite its age, still resonates today.
