She
Stoops to Conquer, written by Oliver Goldsmith in 1771 is considered
the funniest of 18th century drawing room comedies that has continued to
be regularly performed today as a favorite with contemporary audiences.
It tells the simple story of a young city man's courtship with a
wealthy country man's daughter, disjointed by mistaken identities, fear,
silly pranks, class faults, romance--all of which heat up the evening
with laughter. Directed by Lauren Greene Whyte, the cast of 13 romp the
stage in original custom costumes that mark the era. Live music by
Alice Wallace creates fresh and vibrant accompaniment. Running
September 12 to the end of the month at Cité Des Arts, you cannot miss
this luscious visual as it promises laughter and howling.
