“[Scapin] offers a great deal of free-wheeling fun under the tilt-a-whirl direction of Joe Discher. Theatergoers should certainly jump onto this merry-go-round.”
“…the evening is irresistible.”
“In the tradition of commedia dell’arte, director Joe Discher’s adaptation combines physical hijinks with contemporary references for a fresh take on this classic play.”
Hopelessly in love with ladies who don't meet their fathers' approval, a pair of starry-eyed suitors enlist the help of a mischievous servant, Scapin, who paves the way for true love while exacting his own revenge on two miserly merchants. In classic commedia dell'arte style, Molière's rollicking farce has been tickling funny bones with its comic hijinks since 1671. Perennial audience favorite James Michael Reilly returns to portray the wily Scapin, whose outrageous schemes will delight adults and children alike. Directed by Joe Discher, Molière's rollicking farce also features Tony Award nominee Robert LuPone.
