What will happen in England after we have won this war?
Bunting! Bunting everywhere!
After the bunting has been taken down.
They will never take down our bunting!


July 1940. After an aerial dog fight, Jack Absolute flies home to win the heart of his old flame, Lydia Languish. Jack’s advances soon turn to anarchy when the young heiress demands to be loved on her own, very particular terms.

This rollicking new comedy by Richard Bean (One Man, Two Guvnors) and Oliver Chris reimagines Sheridan’s The Rivals to an RAF squadron stationed at a country house during the Battle of Britain.

Expect laughter, tears, thrills and spills, double entendres, feisty females, dashing flying officers, hilarity, derring-do, romance and a duck – all underpinned by the urgency to defeat Hitler and find true love.

Part of Birmingham Comedy Festival, Friday 3 to Sunday 12 October 2025.
