Jack Absolute Flies Again Tickets
Richard Bean and Oliver Chris’ vintage, high-spirited new comedy flies into the Olivier Theatre.
A riotous new wartime comedy
A high-spirited new comedy is filling the South Bank with good old-fashioned fun this year, as Jack Absolute Flies Again plays at the National Theatre.In July 1940, Pilot Officer Jack Absolute returns to British soil and wants to win the heart of his old sweetheart, heiress Lydia Languish. His attempts soon descend into anarchy however, when Lydia lays out her very particular demands for a relationship.
Based on Sheridan’s The Rivals, Jack Absolute Flies Again is co-written by Richard Bean and Oliver Chris. Bean is best known for One Man, Two Guvnors, which is still considered one of the funniest plays to ever grace the National Theatre stage. This joyously entertaining new play from Bean and Chris is directed by Emily Burns (The Comeback).
The Jack Absolute Flies Again London cast includes Caroline Quentin, Laurie Davidson, Natalie Simpson, and Kelvin Fletcher.
