2009: She Stoops To Conquer
Starring ANTONIA PREBBLE - ELLIE SMITH - PAUL ELLIS - CAMERON RHODES - PAUL BARRETT - ARTHUR MEEK - MIKE WHALLEY - ESTHER STEPHENS
The tireless search for Mrs Right. It’s the Miss Wrongs that make it worthwhile.
Charles Marlow, tongue-tied and uptight, needs a lesson in the art of love. He longs for a wife, but finds it easier to have a bit on the side. The barmaid seems fair game – but there’s more to her than meets the eye.
With its outrageous mix of secret elopements and nocturnal confusions, Goldsmith’s classic comedy has delighted audiences for over two centuries. A ribald and hilarious portrait of life and love, Michael Hurst’s lavish production promises to be a season highlight!
