A spokesperson describes the event as follows:

"...There are only so many truly great Restoration Comedies, and we figured that, after keeping The Rivals on ice for more than 30 years, it was time for it to make a comeback at APT. It’s kind of crazy how fitting this play is to these times. The characters are so absurd and ridiculous - like Lydia Languish and Mrs. Malaprop and Jack Absolute, whose primary characteristics are right out there in their names - and yet these archetypes are very much still walking around in our society. APT's acting company is uniquely equipped to take on these characters, and this hilariously complex storyline, and make it both easily accessible, and absolutely delightful to watch. They do this better than anyone, and after the past couple of years, we deserve to laugh a little. We’ve earned it..."
