For the third year, UMS and the Michigan Theater bring these high-definition screenings of live theater broadcasts by the National Theatre, London. The broadcasts feature plays produced by the National Theatre on cinema screens worldwide. In the US, the “live” screenings are delayed to accommodate the time difference. Broadcasts feature behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with actors.

Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with his old pal’s son with a view to marriage. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, Hardcastle is mistaken by his prospective son-in-law Marlow for an innkeeper, and his daughter for the local barmaid. The good news is that while Marlow can barely speak to a woman of quality he’s a charmer with those of a different stamp. And so, as Hardcastle’s indignation intensifies, his daughter’s appreciation for her misguided suitor soars. Misdemeanors multiply, love blossoms, and mayhem ensues.

One of the great, generous-hearted and ingenious comedies of the English language, Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer offers a celebration of chaos, courtship and the dysfunctional family.
