THE BEAUX' STRATAGEM The Stirling Players Stirling Community Theatre Comedy -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2015 -- Written by George Farquhar Adapted by Thornton Wilder & Ken Ludwig Directed by Dave Simms An hilarious romp about the original dirty rotten scoundrels. Aimwell and Archer are the beaux, two London playboys down on their luck, but with a strategy. Having fallen on hard times, they plan to travel through small towns, entrap young heiresses, steal their money and move on to the next. But not everything goes to plan as they meet a colourful collection of rogues, other thieves and women who turn out to be smarter than they expected. In the very first town, they set their sights on a pretty young girl, and Aimwell falls instantly and truly in love - with seriously comic consequences. The long-awaited Australian premiere of this famous Restoration comedy, written in 1707 and adapted by two renowned 20th century playwrights, will delight audiences and have them wondering... Love and marriage? What’s changed in 300 years? Approx.
