Description

The Recruiting Officer by George Farquhar

A comedy of love and war set in Shrewsbury in 1704, this play explores the impact of ongoing warfare on civilian society. With cross-dressing and confusion aplenty, it offers a light and humane portrayal of provincial life.

Farquhar's last two plays, The Recruiting Officer is both entertaining and touching, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during a time of conflict.
