She Stoops To Conquer
''She Stoops to Conquer'' is a comedy by Oliver Goldsmith, first performed in London in 1773. The play is a favourite for study by English literature and theatre classes in the English-speaking world. It is one of the few plays from the 18th century to have retained its appeal and is still regularly performed. The play has been adapted into a film several times, including in 1914 and 1923. Initially the play was titled ''Mistakes of a Night'' and the events within the play take place in one long night. In 1778, John O'Keeffe wrote a loose sequel, '' Tony Lumpkin in Town''.
