THE BEAU
DEFEATED

The Crescent Theatre
October 2026

By MARY PIX

Two wealthy widows with very different social goals. Mrs. Rich is desperate to buy or marry her way into high society, while Lady Landsworth is an aristocrat looking for a genuine, cultured partner. 

Mary Pix’s witty Restoration comedy explores love, deception, fortune, and female independence through mistaken identities and romantic intrigue.

Performed by 3rd Year acting students at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
