Photo Flash: First Look at Deep Dish Theater's SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER
by BWW News Desk - Nov 6, 2012


Popular for over 200 years, Goldsmiths comic romp is a tasty stew of mistaken identities, social sabotage and happy endings. Convinced that his hosts are lower class buffoons and the love of his life is a barmaid, a young gentleman nearly ends up as one of the have-nots in this much-loved classic. Wit and warmth are brought to life in Oliver Goldsmiths eighteenth century comedy, She Stoops to Conquer, presented by Deep Dish Theater Company now through November 17. Directed by Tony Lea, this chuckler continues the company's twelfth season at University Mall. Get a first look at the show in the photos below!

BWW Reviews: Deep Dish's SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER
by Larissa Mount - Nov 1, 2012

Oliver Goldsmith's 1773 She Stoops to Conquer, the current production at Chapel Hill's Deep Dish Theater Company, is certainly no exception. It is the perfect balance of deception and misunderstanding. The best thing about it is that all of the storylines do not unravel at once, and the truth is revealed slowly, making the comic suspense all the more wonderful.

by Jeff Davis - Aug 5, 2012
