SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER

LIZA GODDARD & COLIN BAKER

“Galloping good fun” The Times

Oliver Goldsmith’s classic comedy of manners has been delighting audiences for over two centuries. First performned in 1773, it is a rumbustious story about two young men, Charles Marlow and George Hastings and their hilarious attempts to court Kate Hardcastle and her friend Constance Neville.

A number of delightful deceits, clever schemes, comic ruses and hilarious turns of plot must be played out if the two pending marriages are to conclude happily. Along the way is an abundance of merry mix-ups, bawdy dialogue, much sly satire of the times and one of the great comic characters of the stage, Tony Lumpkin.

She Stoops to conquer is a hilarious comedy of errors; the marvellous humour and humanity of Goldsmith’s play have made it one of the most read, performed and studied of all English comedies. This major revival features a brand new prologue and epilogue by renowned playwright Bryony Lavery.
