She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith
Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with his old pal's son, Marlow, with a view to marriage. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, Hardcastle is mistaken by Marlow for an innkeeper, his daughter for the local barmaid. The good news is, while Marlow can barely speak to a woman of quality he's a charmer with those of a different stamp. Her misguided suitor soars. Misdemeanours multiply, love blossoms, mayhem ensues. One of the great, generous-hearted and ingenious comedies of the English language, She Stoops to Conquer offers a celebration of chaos, courtship and the dysfunctional family.
