She Stoops To Conquer, Oliver GoIdsmith's classic comedy of manners, teIIs the clever schemes and comic ruses that unfoId one night at a country house.
An ambitious step-mother, impassioned sweethearts, a pragmatic father and a pair of star-crossed suitors are sent spinning through a hiIarious comedy of errors by one of the great characters of the stage, Tony Lumpkin. In its day, this eighteenth century masterpiece was considered so "low" that it might never have reached the stage. When it was finalIy produced, it enjoyed immediate and lasting success, breaking the moId with its satiricaI swipe at polite society.
GoIdsmith made comedy funnier and more natural than the "sentimentaI" stuff of his contemporaries - yet his characters burst with warmth as weIl as great wit. Max Stafford-Clark, director, sets the story of the ultimate dysfunctional family in the hinterland of LichfieId. His triumphant production played to great accIaim at the NationaI Theater and on tour. |
