Description was written before the event
A rather spirited comedy written by Hana Pavelková and Pavel Drábek specifically for fourth-year drama students. They drew inspiration from 18th-century theatrical plays: The Beaux Stratagem (1707) by George Farquhar, The Belle's Stratagem (1780) by Hannah Cowley, She Stoops to Conquer (1773) by Oliver Goldsmith, and Le Barbier de Séville (1773) by Pierre de Beaumarchais.
An inn with a tearful husband, a manor house with a grand picture gallery, a long-promised wedding, scheming ladies and gentlemen, a pair of bandits, songs, and five sisters.
