She Stoops to Conquer
or The Mistakes of a Night
by Oliver Goldsmith










Goldsmith's masterpiece. This wonderful witty romp drives a coach and four through the manners and conventions of 18th Century England. Young Marlow is rich, handsome and single, but despite his infamous ability to charm a barmaid, he's hopelessly bashful in the presence of a society lady. His chances of impressing the beautiful Miss Kate Hardcastle are further jeopardised when he is persuaded by the rascally Tony Lumpkin that her family home is in fact the local inn. To the horror of her father, Marlow makes himself thoroughly comfortable and somehow gets the idea that Kate is a serving girl......... So pick up your petticoats, belt up your breeches, harness your horses and come along for a night of uproarious laughter.
