Jack Absolute Flies Again

Full Description

A riotous new wartime comedy!

By re-imagining Sheridan’s ‘The Rivals’ to an RAF squadron stationed at a Sussex country house during the Battle of Britain, Richard Bean and Oliver Chris create something every bit as uproarious and ribald as Bean’s ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’.

July 1940. After an aerial dog fight, Jack Absolute flies home to win the heart of his old flame, Lydia Languish. Jack’s advances soon turn to anarchy when the young heiress demands to be loved on her own, very particular terms.

Expect laughter, tears, thrills and spills, a hectic jitterbug contest, feisty females, dashing flying officers, hilarity, derring-do, romance, and a wooden duck – all underpinned by the urgency to defeat Mr. Hitler, find true love and happiness all complimented by some of the finest ‘Malapropisms’ you will ever hear!

Book early – this is not to be missed.

Contains adult humour and some naughty words!!!

Robert Tremayne directs this spectacularly entertaining new version of Sheridan’s ‘The Rivals’ which tours the UK throughout 2025 and into 2026.

Featuring a cast that includes Vicky Newman, Lauren Whedbee, Mollie Simpson and David Upcraft.
