The Rivals, a play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, is a comedy of manners in five acts. It was first performed on 17th January 1775.The Rivals was written quickly, and Sheridan hoped to make at least six hundred pounds. Its first performance was in 1775 and dubbed a failure, mainly due to the casting of the character Sir Lucius, a stereotypical Irishman; it is said that in the third act an apple thrown from the audience hit Lee, the actor playing Sir Lucius, and he cried out, "By the pow'rs, is it personal? - is it me, or the matter?". The manuscript from this original version (The Larpent manuscript) was revised by Sheridan for the second performance, and another actor was cast for Sir Lucius. This newer edition is known as the First Edition, and includes changes to some characters and language; although it was shortened due to some audience criticisms, it was also added to. Other possible reasons for the play's failure include echoes of Sheridan's own life in the plot: the play includes an elopement (similar to his with Elizabeth Linley) and a duel.The play gradually became more popular and is now considered to be one of Sheridan's masterpieces.The play is set in Bath in the 18th century, a town legendary for conspicuous consumption and fashion at the time. People would travel there to take the waters which were believed to have healing properties. The town was much less exclusive than London, and provides an ideal setting for the characters
