One of the comic jewels of the English theatre, She Stoops to Conquer lampoons the quirks and customs of 18th-century England, from matchmaking and marriage to character and class. Aptly subtitled The Mistakes of a Night, this light-hearted farce turns several imminent romances upside-down through an absurd series of deceptions, disguises, and mistaken identities. It’s a wildly funny romp through the English countryside. This restoration comedy is filled with mistaken identities, studied strong women, the bumbling geniality of parents, confused gallantry of tongue-tied lovers. The story rushes along with breathless hilarity as characters trip over each other on the stage. Lots of door slamming and silliness.
