(George) The Beaux-Stratagem Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beaux%27_Stratagem Produced by David Widger "The Beaux-Stratagem" by George Farquhar is a comedic play written in the early 18th century. The story revolves around two young gentlemen, Aimwell and Archer, who arrive in Lichfield under the pretense of seeking adventure and fortune but are driven by less noble intentions as they plot to win wealthy wives. With a lively cast of characters, including a comical landlord and various romantic interests, the play explores themes of love, deception, and social class through witty dialogue and intricate plots. At the start of "The Beaux-Stratagem," we meet Boniface, the innkeeper, and his daughter Cherry, who humorously discusses the arrival of various guests, including Aimwell and his servant Archer. The two gentlemen, both in financial trouble, plan a scheme to capture fortune by marrying wealthy women. The banter between Boniface and Cherry reveals the inn's bustling atmosphere and sets the comedic tone, hinting at the misunderstandings and romantic entanglements to come as Aimwell and Archer settle into their new surroundings. The opening scenes effectively establish the humorous and fast-paced narrative that characterizes Farquhar's work.
