| Description: |
Mrs. Hardcastle is determined to marry her decidedly spoiled son from her first marriage, Tony Lumpkin, to her glamorous niece, Constance Neville – if only to keep the fabulous Neville jewels in the family. Constance, however, has other plans . . . which tend to involve the dashing George Hastings . . .
Likewise, Squire Hardcastle has arranged a match for his daughter, Kate, with the son of his old friend, Sir Charles Marlow. Neither the Hardcastles nor the bridegroom-to-be have ever met - so the Squire has no way of knowing that while young Marlow is hopelessly bashful in the presence of society ladies, he becomes a veritable Casanova at the sight of a serving wench . . .
Marlow invites Hastings to accompany him to Liberty Hall, the Squire`s country house. When the young bucks stop at a rowdy alehouse seeking directions, a well-oiled Tony Lumpkin decides that fun is to be had. Telling the visitors they can find rooms for the night at a nearby inn, complete with grumpy landlord and gorgeous barmaid, he directs them to . . . Liberty Hall, their intended destination . . .
With its outrageous mix of secret elopements and nocturnal confusions, Goldsmith`s classic comedy has delighted audiences for over two centuries. A ribald and hilarious portrait of life and love in town and country, this promises to be a season highlight! |
