Drama III Oliver Goldsmith (Playwright) - An entrepreneurial soul born in 1728, Oliver Goldsmith was nothing if not resilient. Originally hoping to become a minister, he was rejected by the seminary on account of his irregular and dissolute habits. Bouncing back from that disappointment, Oliver then planned to study law in London, but lost his tuition gambling in Dublin. Broadening his horizons to include the continent, Goldsmith's next move was to travel to Leyden to study medicine. Once there, he gave himself up to great dissipation and squandered away all his money. Penniless, Oliver then wandered about Europe, supporting himself by begging while playing a flute. "She Stoops to Conquer" is his second play. Ken Bolinsky (Adaptor/Director) - Now in his second year as
director of Walker Drama, Ken is a professional director (he belongs
to both the Society of Stage Directors & Choreographers and Actors'
Equity Association), designer, educator and educational consultant,
"She Stoops to Conquer" is Ken's second go as a playwright. He is working on an adaptation of Nicolo Machiavelli's satiric masterpiece,
"Il Mandragola," slated for production in 2003. Progress is
somewhat impeded by his inability to read Italian
