The Beaux’ Stratagem - 2015 - 7/10

Their fortunes lavished on assorted debaucheries, two gentlemen flee London creditors.
The new quarry? Young rural heiresses. Find em, fool em, fleece em, forget em.
Until one of the wastrels is smitten. As for the ladies, no lambs here.
Add a scheming innkeeper, a gypsy seductress, and a band of highwaymen.
Speaking of band, a combo of musicians provide accompaniment for stray songs and jigs.
Broadly comedy of manners from 1707 rollicks along; keep up with the staccato dialogue.
Theatre junkies, Jane Austen unbuttoned.
