Oliver Chris and Richard Bean - the writer responsible for One Man, Two Guvnors - present their new play, Jack Absolute Flies Again, at the National Theatre this April. Based on Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The Rivals, the production moves the comedy from the 18th century to 1940, replacing aristocrats with RAF officers. When Pilot Officer Jack Absolute returns back on British soil, he sets about winning the heart of his old flame Lydia but things take a turn when she demands to be loved on her own terms. Laurie Davidson and Natalie Simpson play Jack and Lydia, starring alongside Caroline Quentin and Richard Fleeshman.
