SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER (2010)
By Oliver Goldsmith
Directed by Michael Hurst. Produced by Auckland Theatre Company. Charles Marlow, tongue-tied and uptight, needs a lesson in the art of love. He longs for a wife, but finds it easier to have a bit on the side. The barmaid seems fair game - but there's more to her than meets the eye. With its outrageous mix of secret elopements and nocturnal confusions, Goldsmith's classic comedy has delighted audiences for over two centuries. |
