"The Beaux-Stratagem: A comedy in five acts by George Farquhar" is a comedy first produced in 1707.

Traveling to Lichfield, they target the beautiful Dorinda, with Archer posing as Aimwell's servant to deceive the locals. Complications arise when Aimwell genuinely falls in love, the innkeeper's daughter pursues Archer, and a band of thieves plots to rob their intended targets, threatening their carefully laid plans.
