How about taking a break from your family history research by going to see a play by Irish playwright, Oliver Goldsmith?

If you live in the Minneapolis/St Paul area, the Friday-Sunday performances are just down the road at Celtic Junction Arts Center, 836 N Prior, St Paul.

"SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER" is a charming comedy that has delighted audiences for over two centuries. First performed in 1773, it concerns Kate Hardcastle, a young lady who poses as a serving girl to win the heart of a young gentleman too shy to court ladies of his own class. A number of delightful deceits and hilarious turns of plot must be played out before the mating strategies of both Kate Hardcastle and her friend Constance Neville conclude happily. Along the way, there is an abundance of merry mix-ups, racy dialogue, and sly satire of the sentimental comedies of Goldsmith’s day.

Join the players from Out of the Mist Celtic Theatre for an    evening of 18th century frivolity!

Listen for the line in the play originating the phrase, "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies."
