Rain or Shine Theatre to tour SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER this summer

Rain or Shine Theatre are set to delight family audiences once again this summer with their production of Oliver Goldsmith’s classic comedy, She Stoops to Conquer, touring the country from late June until early September.

“A reserved lover, it is said, always makes a suspicious husband.” Kate Hardcastle is a young lady fixed up to meet the eligible Marlow with a view to marriage. Marlow is a young gent who is tongue-tied with the upper classes and downright lecherous with commoners. So when Marlow is tricked into believing Kate's ancestral home is a country inn, and mistakes Kate for a lowly barmaid, what could possibly go wrong? Plenty!

Set against the increasingly chaotic proceedings of one very long night, She Stoops to Conquer is a delightful romantic romp filled with ludicrous misunderstanding, mischief  and mayhem. So pack your picnic, rugs and chairs, pop open some bubbly and sit back and relax in the summer sunshine,  while they whisk you away to the time of big wigs, and even bigger dresses; where fops and foolery abound!  Suitable for audiences from age 6 to 106, Rain or Shine aim to bring classical theatre into the heart of local communities.

Producer Jayne Meekings said: “After a horrible year for the entertainment industry, we will soon be able to make audiences smile again. The theatre industry has arguably been one of the  most impacted sectors during the pandemic, with venues closed since March 2020. Outdoor events are clearly safer than indoors so indoors so along with the  vaccination rollout, we are hoping that after 21st June we will be able to perform to audiences with fewer social distancing  restrictions”.
