IrishPenJen (United Kingdom) (2011/05/28):
When Marlow mistakes Kate's house for an inn and treats her father like an inn-keeper, things are not going to go smoothly for him. With her brother causing mischief, her father insulted and her mother plotting a marriage nobody wants, it is no wonder Kate has to stoop to conquer. She Stoops to Conquer belongs to that small group of classic English comedies which will never go out of fashion.What the papers say:
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
