NEW YORK—In the best tradition of 18th century comedy, Oliver Goldsmith’s “She Stoops to Conquer” encompasses all the tricks of that trade: mistaken identity, extreme characterizations, convoluted and zany plotlines, and miraculously favorable outcomes.

In the hands of TACT’s (The Actors Company Theatre) adapter, director, artistic director Scott Alan Evans, the current reprise at the Clurman Theatre on Manhattan’s Theatre Row fills the bill and then some.

'She Stoops to Conquer' maintains interest for producers and audiences alike.
