CINEMA NOUVEAU SCREENS NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE’S PRODUCTION OF THE BEAUX’ STRATAGEM, A WILD RESTORATION COMEDY OF LOVE AND CASH
★★★★
‘Exuberant. Deliciously modern. This Restoration romp is a lot of fun.’ – Time Out
Simon Godwin directs the fabulous period comedy THE BEAUX’ STRATAGEM by George Farquhar, screened via National Theatre Live at Cinema Nouveau theatres countrywide from Saturday, 03 October, for eight shows only.
The ‘Beaux’: Mr Aimwell and Mr Archer, played by Samuel Barnett (The History Boys) and Geoffrey Streatfeild (Spooks) are two charming, dissolute young men who have blown their fortunes in giddy London. Shamed and debt-ridden, they flee to provincial Lichfield.
Their ‘Stratagem’: to marry for money.
Lodged at the local inn, posing as master and servant, they encounter a teeming variety of human obstacles: a crooked landlord, a fearsome highwayman, a fervent French Count, a maid on the make, a drunken husband, a furious butler, a natural healer and a strange, turbulent priest.
But their greatest obstacle is love. When the Beaux meet their match in Dorinda (Pippa Bennett-Warner) and Mrs Sullen (Susannah Fielding), they are most at risk for, in love, they might be truly discovered.
Samuel Barnett’s credits include the original cast of The History Boys at the NT, in the West End, Broadway, and on screen; Twelfth Night and Richard III(Shakespeare’s Globe, West End and Broadway, Tony Award nomination) and on television, Twenty Twelve and Not Safe for Work.
