It’s all such good fun but surprisingly moving, too – no more so than when Horovitch’s Hardcastle hands over his daughter’s hand in marriage with such pride, such love and just a flicker of sorrow.Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.Ĭulture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful - and this is still in our DNA today. Freddie Fox is a delight as the mercurial Marlow and the air positively crackles as Fox and Tanya Reynolds, as the commanding Kate, circle each other teasing, testing and horny as anything. There’s a gravitas to Greta Scacchi’s Mrs Hardcastle that slightly slows things down – but also adds a touching pathos to the closing scenes as her spoiled son Tony (Guy Hughes) begins to pull away from his overbearing mother. As the production giddily races on, all Horovitch has to do is take a few grumpy steps and the audience giggles helplessly. The slightest twitch of the eyebrows or puffing out of the cheeks is all he needs to express the most tremendous indignation. David Horovitch’s Mr Hardcastle is the stand-out star in an excellent ensemble. The performances are beautifully pitched. Mishaps, misunderstandings and an awful lot of merriment will ensue (topped off by some very silly scenes involving a gloriously shaky servant and a huge bowl of punch).įestive hi-jinks … members of the cast (David Horovitch, far left) in She Stoops to Conquer. I Conquer Britain is the companion book to Sophie Pitt-Turnbull Discovers America, and has much the same to offer readers.Its funny, lighthearted and a quick read, but light on the characterization and plot development. In just a few finely paced moments, Charles Marlow and George Hastings – two ridiculous gents from London – arrive on the lookout for love. Mrs Hardcastle’s layabout son from her first marriage, Tony Lumpkin, is up to his usual mischief and Mr Hardcastle’s first daughter, Kate, is on the hunt for a husband. It’s Christmas Eve at Mr and Mrs Hardcastle’s country hall and a rather modern-feeling blended family is running amok. But the most striking element is the emotional depth, with bursts of heartfelt tenderness, affection and even regret nestled amid the quips, tricks, laughter and song. The lightly edited text, which has been transplanted into the 1930s, is packed with sharp gags, whirling plot twists and inspired flourishes of physical comedy. Director Tom Littler’s sparkling 250th anniversary production of Oliver Goldsmith’s fizzing comedy of manners is certainly very funny. One of the real pleasures of reviving the classics is discovering which particular aspects might shine anew.
