Oliver Goldsmith’s 18th century comedy with larger than life characters, big laughs and even bigger frocks!
A wealthy country squire arranges a meeting between his beautiful daughter, Kate and the son of an aristocrat, Charles Marlow – hoping the pair will marry. Unfortunately, whilst the privileged Marlow is at ease with ladies of a lower social standing, he becomes flustered with those of his own class. Determined to overcome the obstacles and win his affections by any means necessary, Kate poses as a barmaid in order to succeed.
Director Lucy Pitman-Wallace makes a welcome return to Nottingham Playhouse following her previous productions The Burial at Thebes and Macbeth.

Reviews
It’s a jolly good start to the season and should be a good antidote to the back to work feeling after the holidays. Go and enjoy a fun evening out.
— Theatreworld
…an excellent opener to the Playhouse’s new season.

She Stoops to Conquer is an imaginative, humorous and often thought provoking production.
— Guide2Nottingham.com
Edmund Kingsley’s Marlow combines the bearing of a Roman emperor with the behaviour of a scoundrel, and there is much diversion to be found in witnessing his comeuppance at the hands of Ellie Beaven’s sprightly, mischievous Kate.

Very enjoyable! I thought this was a brilliant production - the original play is faithfully preserved, with Goldsmith's language spoken beautifully clearly, but there are some lovely postmodernist touches in the staging.
