Aurand Harris, Oliver Goldsmith
She Stoops to Conquer
Paperback
(Anchorage Pr April 1, 1991)
Play script adapted by Aurand Harris from the play by Oliver Goldsmith. This is the celebrated play that restored "laughing comedy" to the English stage. Cast of 6 men, 3 women, servants. 18th Century costumes. A single set.
Kate "stoops" to pretending that she is a country servant, and so wins her city lover. The fun of this good-humored play lies in the contrast of country and city manners, farcical intrigues and mistaken identities. It is as true today as when Dr. Samuel Johnson wrote of this play in 1773, "I know no comedy that has so much exhilarated an audience, that has answered so much the great end of comedy, making an audience laugh."
