She Stoops to Conquer at Fells Point Corner Theatre

Young Marlow, on his way to meet the match his father has chosen for him, arrives at a somewhat dilapidated country house and mistakes it for an inn. From there, Oliver Goldsmiths She Stoops to Conquer (1773) is a riotous jaunt of mistaken identity, practical jokes, and romantic shenanigans. At once both a charming love story and witty satire of romance, class, and station, it is a laughing comedy that has delighted audiences for over 230 years. "[Goldsmith] chided the debilitating gentility of the gentry at the same time that he cheered an audience with good-natured romantic hijinks." The New York Times.
