We are reading the "She Stoops to Conquer," written by Oliver Goldsmith in 1771. He was desperate for cash, frantically wrote this play (as I've come to understand it) and everyone thought it would be a disaster. Instead, it was an un-rivaled success, becoming the most popular non-Shakespeare written play in English history. It has been in production every season since it was written.
Can you fucking believe that.
And, the title kicks ass.
