Get your tickets to MacTheatre's limited run of their 2024 UIL One-Act Play, She Stoops to Conquer. (https://McCallum.ludus.com) This charming comedy has delighted audiences for over two centuries. First performed in 1773, it concerns Kate Hardcastle, a young lady who poses as a serving girl to win the heart of a young gentleman too shy to court ladies of his own class. A number of delightful deceits and hilarious turns of plot must be played out before the mating strategies of both Kate Hardcastle and her friend Constance Neville conclude happily. Along the way, there is an abundance of merry mix-ups, racy dialogue, and sly satire of the sentimental comedies of Oliver Goldsmith's day.
