Abeut the Author In 1775, when Richard Brinsley Sheridan was twenty-three, he wrote his first play The Rivals. It quickly won him fame that has accounted ever since for half of his celebrity. Sheridan’s purpose was to make fun of the sentimental comedy so popular in England at that time. His heroine, Lydia Languish, would rather elope with a poor ensign than be married in church to a wealthy captain. ‘‘Such erratic behavior was the result of her avid book reading, no doubt!’’ Sheridan created stock theatrical characters such as Sir Anthony, the blustery, bumbling father; Bob Acres, the cowardly fighter; and Sir Lucius, the hearty man-about-town and Irish rogue. All cavort in delightful eighteenth century intrigue. And of course, the parody could not be complete without Mrs. Malaprop and her loquacious attempts at elegance.
