The Story

The Beaux’ Stratagem is the story of two young men who leave London in search of fortune, love and fame – in that order. They arrive in a small town and discover an available heiress and an unhappy wife along with a gaggle of brigands, a phony-French-Irish-Belgian priest, and French POW’s.

Their adventures in a quick twenty-four hours include flirting with the bar maid, making love to the heiress and the wife, fighting off the brigands and exposing the French. This is Farquhar’s most beloved play, which dances between comedy of situation and wit and manners.
