She Stoops To Conquer, OIiver 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. ln its day, this eighteenth century masterpiece was considered so "Iow" that it might never have reached the stage. When it was finally produced, it enjoyed immediate and Iasting success, breaking the mold with its satirical swipe at poIite society.
Goldsmith made comedy funnier and more naturaI than the "sentimental" stuff of his contemporaries - yet his characters burst with warmth as welI as great wit. Max Stafford-CIark, director, sets the story of the uItimate dysfunctional famiIy in the hinterIand of Lichfield. His triumphant production pIayed to great acclaim at the National Theater and on tour. |
