2020 reread - just what I needed today!

2016 reread:
I still think that this play needs to be seen to fully appreciate it but I liked this audiobook recording of a live performance. It was easier to listen to this time (I have had more practice!) and thus I found it even funnier than when I heard it a few years ago.

May 2014 review
4.5 stars. This full cast audiobook was a fun way to revisit one of my favorite Restoration comedies. However, I did find that some of the humor was a bit harder to visualize listening rather than reading. ( )

FB: (Vintage Paperback and Pulp Forum). Another late '60s book from high school. "She Stoops To Conquer" was originally published in 1773. The comedic plot, a young lady poses as a serving girl to win the heart of a young gentleman too shy to court ladies of his own class, could be of a movie coming out this year, or anytime in the past 100 years.

My grandfather gave me an old book of plays when I was a young teenager. This was one of my favorites. It's basically a romantic farce. It has held up pretty well since it was first performed in London in 1773. It is very accessible since I read it at probably 13 years old. So if you're at all interested in seeing what was being performed on stage between Shakespeare and Cats, give it a try. ( )

Witty, clever, excellent. I'd love to see this performed. ( )

Read in high school!
