She Stoops to Conquer

Oliver Goldsmith’s 18th century comedy with larger than life characters, big laughs and even bigger frocks!

A wealthy country squire arranges a meeting between his beautiful daughter, Kate and the son of an aristocrat, Charles Marlow – hoping the pair will marry. Unfortunately, whilst the privileged Marlow is at ease with ladies of a lower social standing, he becomes flustered with those of his own class. Determined to overcome the obstacles and win his affections by any means necessary, Kate poses as a barmaid in order to succeed.

Director Lucy Pitman-Wallace makes a welcome return to Nottingham Playhouse following her previous productions The Burial at Thebes and Macbeth.
