Item details
The stratagem of the title is a crafty ploy by Bailie William Provan to become the next town provost by scandalizing his deadly rival while avoiding the clutches of an unwanted admirer. Not too surprisingly, his best laid scheme is hilariously hindered by romantic misunderstandings and political intrigue. This fast-paced 18th century comedy can be simply staged with minimal effects and offers seven substantial character parts.
