Alexandria—
The Reference Services Unit is holding its monthly play reading session in English on Wednesday, 12 November 2008. Participants will read She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith.
She Stoops to Conquer tells the story of wealthy country man Mr. Hardcastle arranges for his daughter Kate, to meet Charles Marlow, the son of a wealthy aristocrat, hoping the pair will marry. Unfortunately, Marlow is nervous around upper-class women, yet the complete opposite around the lower-class females. On his first acquaintance with Kate, the latter realizes she will have to pretend to be common, to make marital relations with the man possible. Thus Kate stoops to conquer, by posing as a barmaid, hoping to put Marlow at his ease so that he would fall for her in the process.
The session starts at 16:00 hrs. at the Arts and Multimedia Library. Participants should register their names at the General Information Desk at the Library entrance.
