Synopsis
Witty British comedy of manners about love, disguise, and mistaken expectations
A stage classic by Oliver Goldsmith, presented here in its sparkling form as a country-house farce. The plot follows clever plotting, social customs, and bold, bluff humor as characters maneuver through courtship, family loyalties, and clever deceptions.
In this edition, you’ll meet a lively cast, from earnest suitors to sharp-tongued guardians, all set against a backdrop of drawing-room wit and rural charm. The dialogue crackles with humor, irony, and bright observations on class and vanity, delivered with brisk pace and theatrical flair. The play moves from polite talk to prankish schemes, keeping a steady rhythm of laughter and suspense.
What you’ll experience
- Quick, sparkling exchanges that balance flirtation, wit, and social satire
- A chorus of memorable characters with distinct voices and motives
- A theatrical look at love, age, and the gaps between appearance and reality
- Scenes driven by disguise, misunderstanding, and clever reversals
Ideal for readers who enjoy period comedies, theatrical dialogue, and stories where charm and mischief collide in clever, entertaining ways.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from She Stoops to Conquer: A Comedy
Hard. Ay, and bring back vanity and affectation to last them the whole year. I wonder Why London cannot keep its own fools at home. In my time, the follies of the town crept slowly among us, but now they travel faster than a stage-coach. Its fopperies come down, not only as inside passengers, but in the very basket.
