Soldiers and sex

The Tartan Online: "Some people make fun of the military in movies, witty jokes, or editorial cartoons. Holly Thuma chose an 18th-century play; she directed George Farquhar’s satire The Recruiting Officer for the University of Pittsburgh Repertory Theatre. The play mocks Britain’s military recruiters, notorious for tricking people to sign up to fight, and takes place during the War of the Spanish Succession."

The production sounds interesting, but not particularly meaningful. I think that the play could have been done with more political relevance than it sounds like it was.
