The Beaux' Stratagem at Everyman Theatre

The Beaux' Stratagem

Everyman Theatre
315 W. Fayette St Baltimore

A raucous romp through the trials and tribulations of love, money, and marriage, The Beaux' Stratagem follows the adventures of Archer and Aimwell, two young gents who are short on cash and long on schemes. The duo travel from village to village in search of wealth and women. When they happen upon the lovely Dorinda and the equally beautiful Mrs. Kate Sullen, they devise a plan to woo and win them. But, as in every great love story, obstacles abound! A hysterical Restoration comedy, in the style of The School for Scandal, this delightful adaptation by Thornton Wilder & Ken Ludwig is a true comic gem. The perfect finish to a year of Baltimore premieres!

"...That set-up leads to all sorts of crazy things in George Farquhar's "The Beaux' Stratagem," one of the classics of Restoration Comedy, the genre that flourished for several decades after Charles II assumed the British throne in 1660. To wrap up the inaugural season in its new home, Everyman Theatre is presenting this 306-year-old play in a version that is much newer."

"...In the age of economical theatre-think: two men and a couch-Restoration Comedy is hardly the genre of the hour. Its large casts, elaborate costumes, multiple locations, and purposefully dated style are often prohibitive in full production. Still, it is my personal conviction that any genre-done well-can succeed, and Everyman's revival of The Beaux' Stratagem, adapted by Thornton Wilder and Ken Ludwig, is a glowing success."

Restoration comedy or a leg of lamb jammed up my nose? Tough choice. With that personal disclosure out of the way, in spite of my bias, Everyman’s production of The Beaux’ Stratagem is feathery, frolicsome amusement, as refreshing as an ice cream soda mit schlag on a humid June afternoon.
