ACCLAIMED company Northern Broadsides will bring a classic period comedy to the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield next month.
She Stoops to Conquer will be performed at this venue from December 2 to 6.
Conrad Nelson will direct Oliver Goldsmith’s farce set in 18th century Britain. Kate Hardcastle is a young lady fixed up to meet the eligible Marlow with a view to marriage. Marlow is a young gent who is tongue-tied with the upper classes and downright lecherous with commoners.
So when Marlow is tricked into believing Kate’s ancestral home is a country inn, and mistakes Kate for a lowly barmaid, what could possibly go wrong?
Combining the company’s trademark northern wit with an array of fabulous costumes and wigs, She Stoops to Conquer is a romantic romp, filled with ludicrous misunderstanding, mischief and mayhem.
Evening performances will start at 7.30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. Tickets are priced at £18 to £10. Call 01484 430528 or visit thelbt.org to book.
