New Forest Open Air Theatre are back at Furzey Gardens with their big summer comedy. Expect the usual blend of laughter, music and magic as the sun goes down.

'She Stoops to Conquer' is Oliver Goldsmith's bighearted, classic comedy. Think Shakespeare meets farce! Two eligible, young batchelors from London arrive in the countryside, and come up against the escapades of practical joker, Tony Lumpkin, and daredevil, Kate Hardcastle. Chaos and high comedy ensue during one summer night in the countryside.

With live jigs, reels and country dancing, join us for this summer celebration of life and love.
