THE STORY: In this wild physical comedy, the crafty Scapin jumps into the story as he first promises to help in the affairs of his neighbor’s son, Octave, then to aid in those of his own charge, Leander (Geronte’s son). Both young men have fallen in love with unlikely, and penniless beauties, and both need money to help solve their dilemmas. Scapin knows a good ruse will always win the day. An uproarious romp of hugely theatrical proportions!
