The cast of She Stoops to Conquer Credit: Nobby Clark

Northern Broadsides is set to return to The Lowry with Oliver Goldsmith’s much loved 18th century comedy of manners She Stoops To Conquer from December 9-13.

Relocated from the West Country to the North of England, Goldsmith's 1773 play is a story of class, courtship and dysfunctional families.

Tongue-tied, uptight Charles Marlow needs a lesson in the art of love. He longs for a wife, but finds it easier to court barmaid Kate—but there's more to her than meets the eye.

Directed by Conrad Nelson, the She Stoops to Conquer cast will feature Jon Trenchard, who recently performed at The Lowry in Fiddler on The Roof and is a regular face in Propeller theatre productions.
