Publisher Description

Starring James Marsters, this classic comedy of manners from 1773 is still widely performed and studied. Love, lies, and dysfunctional families. Sound like your last family gathering? Try this one on for laughs. Two randy young gents, Charles and George, set out to woo the alluring and upper-crust Kate and Constance. But inexperienced Charles is shy and clumsy around upper-class ladies, so it's the barmaid who catches his eye. But is she really who she seems? Bawdy high-jinx, popped pretensions, and good dirty fun are the hallmarks of this romping frolic that's kept audiences laughing for over two centuries.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring (in alphabetical order): Rosalind Ayres as Mrs. Hardcastle; Adam Godley as Tony Lumpkin; Julian Holloway as Elder Marlow/Stingo; James Marsters as Charles Marlow; Christopher Neame as Roger; Paula Jane Newman as Bet Bouncer/Pimple; Ian Ogilvy as Mr. Hardcastle; Moira Quirk as Constance Neville; Darren Richardson as Diggory/Jeremy; Joanne Whalley as Kate Hardcastle; and Matthew Wolf as George Hastings. Directed by Martin Jarvis. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, in June 2010.

    " Very reminiscent of the time period. My only complaint is that the plot was very simple, and sometimes the one plot line made things very predictable. "

    " read this because my daughter was doing it for 'A' level a couple of years ago. It's quite a clever, fine play but I get a bit fed up with all these mistaken identities, disguises etc, and it takes a Shakespeare to get away with all that stuff fully (for me anyway). "

    " My dad lent this book to me as a quick read with a cute story. It was definitely a fast read, and the story was enjoyable if extremely silly. Goldsmith really enjoys writing about ridiculous people (see The Vicar of Wakefield). "
