SHC STOOPS TO CONQUGR The wit of British playwright Oliver Goldsmith brought She Stoops to Conquer, a comedy of manners, to the stage early in the 18th century. In the spring of 1980, She Stoops came to Hope as the second major production of the theatre season. The story of how the feminine wiles of young Kate Hardcastle. played by Senior Michelle Martin, corner Marlow her suitor too shy to be straightforward with a lady, who was played by Chuck Bell, the play was directed by John Tammi. One of the most entertaining aspects of She Stoops To Conquer, noted Tammi is how the story revolving around Kate the title charac- ter. is woven with several other comic plots. In the instance of this Hope production, the old the- atre adage, the show must go on never rang truer. Chuck Bell, the lead actor, became too ill to perform for the third performance. March 25. Refusing to opt for closing the show early. Tammi and the theatre staff contacted William Shanks, a student from Wayne State University in Detroit. Shanks had played Marlow in a recent production of She Stoops To Conquer. I was cleaning my apartment at the time he called Shanks remarked. Less than 10 hours before curtain, he agreed to fly to Holland and replace Bell in the Hope production. She Stoops To Conquer was also a significant achievement for Junior Jon Hondorp. The entire set was designed by Hondorp. whose artistic work and attention to the actual construction meant full time work in addition to being a student. — J.
