Description

From writers Richard Bean (One Man, Two Guvnors) and Oliver Chris comes a hilarious new adaptation of Richard Sheridan’s The Rivals, set in 1940s British summer time.

After an aerial dog fight, Pilot Officer Jack Absolute flies home to rejoin his fearless Hurricane squadron at RAF Fontwell. Once back on British soil, Jack is shocked to find his old flame, Lydia, on the base. He sets his sights on winning her heart, but with turbulence and hilarity never far away, his advances quickly turn to anarchy.
