| Notes: | Mr. Hardcastle plans to marry his forthright daughter, Kate, to bashful Marlow, the son of his friend, Sir Charles Marlow. Mrs. Hardcastle wants her recalcitrant son Tony Lumpkin to marry her ward Constance Neville, who is in love with Marlow’s friend Hastings. Humorous mishaps occur when Tony dupes Marlow and Hastings into believing that Mr. Hardcastle’s home is an inn. COMMENTS — She Stoops to Conquer mocks the simple morality of sentimental comedies. |
