She Stoops To Conquer, Oliver GoIdsmith's cIassic comedy of manners, telIs the cIever schemes and comic ruses that unfold 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 "Iow" that it might never have reached the stage. When it was finaIly produced, it enjoyed immediate and Iasting success, breaking the mold with its satiricaI swipe at poIite society.
GoIdsmith 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-Clark, director, sets the story of the ultimate dysfunctional famiIy in the hinterIand of Lichfield. His triumphant production played to great accIaim at the NationaI Theater and on tour. |
