At Mappa Mundi

Mappa Mundi- She Stoops to Conquer , on tour , May 7, 2009
At Mappa Mundi by Mappa Mundi- She Stoops to Conquer Mappa Mundi's fine new production of Oliver Goldsmith's comedy of mistaken identities continues the company's commitment to rollicking, accessible versions of the classics. The mood here is one of playful, knowing tomfoolery under Peter Doran's bold direction, and a palpable glee takes hold from the start. The play's prologue is dispensed with: the first of many touches that open the play out to the audience. Some of these are literal: glasses of punch are served to one member of the audience until he is loudly declared "pissed as a fart".
