Synopsis :

Depuis 1773, une charmante satire des comédies sentimentales de l'époque divertit le public. Une jeune femme se fait passer pour une servante pour conquérir le cœur d'un jeune homme trop timide pour courtiser les dames de sa propre classe. De nombreuses tromperies délicieuses et des rebondissements hilarants doivent être joués avant que la pièce ne se termine heureusement. Notes.

Revue de presse: Oliver Goldsmith's comedy was a milestone: yes, it's fast and funny, almost farcical at times, a great night out, and so on, but it's also a psychological masterpiece written at the time when English society began its stately progress towards its admirable class system. Sunday Times "A bomproof comedy...Oliver Goldsmith's play is about the clash between town and country, between varying degrees of pretension." Robert Dawson Scott, The Times, 04.06.08 'Against Sean Crowley's elegant blank canvas of a set, which allows a home to be mistaken for an inn, Goldsmith's themes of class and snobbery unfold with delicious clarity. The performances are both ticklish and sophisticated - the actors step outside the action to address the audience directly - and yet played for traditional laughs and tremendous relish.'
