Director
Сирано лишился легендарного носа, а заодно и всех прочих действующих лиц шляп, плащей, кружев и устаревшего пафоса. Что же осталось? Остроумие, мастерская игра словами, бесконечная неуверенность в себе главного героя и, конечно, вдребезги разбитое романтичное сердце бесстрашного храбреца де Бержерака, а вместе с ним — и сердца зрителей.

Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward yo 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. One of the great, generous-hearted and ingenious comedies of the English language, Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer offers a celebration of chaos, courtship and the dysfunctional family.
