THE BEAUX' STRATAGEM - DECEMBER 2008

Written by George Farquhar

After squandering their fortunes, young Tom Aimwell and Jack Archer seek refuge in the countryside, hoping to find two ladies of status and fortune to marry and live the easy life. The show takes some wild twists when true love and a band of thieves complicate their scheming. Considered one of the great English comedies of all time, this contemporary adaptation by George Farquhar has been updated by Thornton Wilder (Our Town) and Ken Ludwig (Crazy for You, Lend Me A Tenor).
