Scapino the Trickster
by Molière, translated and adapted by Matt DiCintio

When two misers return from abroad, their sons find their romances with two mysterious women in peril.

They enlist the services of a wily servant to swindle, hoodwink, and bamboozle their way to a happy ending.

Molière's most famous farce marries his signature wit and verve with the traditions of commedia dell'arte.

"Molière's genius for rhythm, laughs, and fast action are the stuff of pure theatre."

—Georges Mongrédien, in his introduction to LES FOURBERIES DE SCAPIN in the definitive Collected Works of Molière
