After squandering their fortunes on drink and gambling, Tom Aimwell and Jack Archer seek refuge in the countryside. They hope to seduce two ladies of status and fortune, but true love and a band of thieves soon complicate their scheming. For more than a century, The Beaux' Stratagem, written in 1707 by George Farquhar, was one of the most frequently performed English comedies, enjoying constant revivals. Recently rediscovered, this classic boasts an adaptation begun by Thornton Wilder and completed 65 years later by Tony Award-nominated playwright Ken Ludwig.
