Recensione:

I know of no comedy for many years that has so much exhilarated an audience; that has answered so much the great end of comedy - making an audience merry. --From Boswell's Life of Johnson on Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer.

Fresh, spirited and often blissfully funny...The play is a marvel, a comedy almost entirely bereft of malice, but one that never seems twee, sentimental or bland. --Evening Standard on the 2012 National Theatre production.

She Stoops to Conquer is almost 240 years old, but Oliver Goldsmith's tightly plotted play seems wonderfully youthful in this fizzy production. --Daily Mail on the 2012 National Theatre production.
