SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER Opens 2016 Season of Shakespeare in the Park Today
The folly of most people is rather an object of mirth than uneasiness and mirth will be plentiful when Shakespeare Dallas presents She Stoops to Conquer. The classic by the comedic Irish playwright Oliver Goldsmith opens the 2016 season of Shakespeare in the Park. Performances begin today, June 15 and continue through June 18, then June 29-July 22 every Wednesday - Friday at the Samuell Grand Amphitheater, 1500 Tenison Parkway in Dallas.
To be directed by guest director Mason York, Goldsmith's comedy of manners is a wild romp in the lives of a family and their sordid adventures. In the play, Mr. Hardcastle, a wealthy countryman, hopes to arrange a marriage between his daughter Kate, performed by Anastasia Munoz, and Charles Marlow, played by Seth Magill. Although he is the son of a rich Londoner, Kate realizes she will have to pretend to be 'common' for Marlow to fall for her. A practical joke leads to misunderstandings that must be resolved before Kate's plan can succeed.
Performances of She Stoops to Conquer begin at 8:15 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the gate or online. Additional information is available online at http://www.shakespearedallas.org or 214-559-2778.
