She Stoops to Conquer / School for Scandal

Oliver Goldsmith

4.2/5 ( ratings)

From the Golden Age of English Comedy

Here are two of the most popular comedies of the eighteenth-century British theater. THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL is an outstanding example of Sheridan's dazzling wit. Goldsmith's SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER is full of a robust good humor reminiscent of Shakespeare. Originally produced at a time when the English stage had long been dominated by a succession of mawkish, sentimental dramas, these two plays created immediate sensations. With their bumbling heroes, charming rogues and elegant ladies, their fantastic deceptions and frantic denouements, their fundamental decency and high spirits, these two plays continue to delight modern audiences.
