About National Theatre: She Stoops To Conquer

Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with his old pal’s son with a view to marriage. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, he’s mistaken by his prospective son in-law Marlow for an innkeeper, his daughter for the local barmaid. The good news is, while Marlow can barely speak to a woman of quality he’s a charmer with those of a different stamp. And so, as Hardcastle’s indignation intensifies, Miss Hardcastle’s appreciation for her misguided suitor soars. Misdemeanours multiply, love blossoms, mayhem ensues. Resurrected by the National Theatre following a ten year break, She Stoops to Conquer returns to the repertory featuring a noticeable cast that includes Katherine Kelly of Coronation Street fame and The League of Gentlemen’s hilarious Steve Pemberton.
