One of the most popular English comedies since it was written in 1707, The Beaux' Stratagem is filled with fun and frolic, disguises and deceptions, rough-and-tumble romance, perilous dangers and daring rescues. Our selected adaptation by Thornton Wilder and Ken Ludwig, is thoroughly accessible to modern audiences while faithfully recreating the Restoration period with fabulously funny characters, sparkling wordplay and dashing swordplay – all celebrating the sheer joy of living. |
