Funny and perceptive, Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer is a celebrated story of class, courtship and dysfunctional families. Tongue tied, uptight, Charles Marlow 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. In her hilarious new play A Laughing Matter, April De Angelis goes behnd the scenes of this era. It's 1773 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The crowd is getting restless. The leading man's unconscious. But the show must go on. Do you give them what they want? Or what they need?
