THE GROUNDS of Leicester’s Abbey Pumping Station will become the setting for an open-air production of a classic 18th century comedy of manners next week.
Sheridan’s ‘The Rivals’ will be performed by the Rain or Shine Theatre Company – whatever the weather – at 7pm on Friday 18 July.
The play has delighted audiences for more than 250 years, featuring a cast of characters embroiled in a whirlwind plot of comic confusion, daring duels and romantic entanglement.
Set in the spa town of Bath, this brand new adaptation combines Sheridan’s masterpiece with Rain or Shine’s fast and furious comic flair.
Tickets for the family-friendly farce are now on sale and priced at £17.34 for adults and £8.67 for those aged 15 and under (price includes booking fee).
Seating is not provided, so ticket holders are invited to bring their own picnic blankets or low-backed chairs for the performance.
