The Beaux' Stratagem is a comic 'tale of conquest turns a small English town on its ear.   Two young rakes, Aimwell and Archer, are down on their luck and scheme to entrap a woman of fortune into marriage. While aiming for their goal, they inadvertently rescue a damsel in marital distress, outwit the oafish innkeeper, foil a robbery plot and stumble upon more than they expect: Love." explains a recent press release.

"Bad title, great play. A title that sounds as if the play will be 'algebra-on-stage' is as easy to follow as 1-2-3," says director Ed Shea.  "Farquhar has a unique, comic genius and like all the greats - Molière, Shakespeare - can travel from the sacred to the profane in a nanosecond with dexterity, precision, eloquence and a delightfully bawdy flair."
