The Beaux' Stratagem

× S'Twould be hard to guess which of these parties is the better pleased, the couple joined, or the couple parted; the one rejoicing in hopes of an untasted happiness, and the other in their deliverance from an unexpected misery."

Society beaux Archer and Aimwell are on the hunt for rich wives to help them live in the manner to which they have been accustomed. When they arrive in the city of Litchfield and meet Dorinda and Kate, the shenanigans begin with clever lovers, saucy servants, acerbic toffs, and a silly band of brigands. Written in 1707 by Restoration playwright George Farquhar, The Beaux' Stratagem, subtitled for this production with A Comedy of Bad Manners, is a delightfully bright country romp with layers of satire and social commentary.

World Premiere Adapted and Directed by MSF Artistic Associate Robert Kauzlaric
