Classic Theatre Presents SCAPIN,5/10-5/25March 6, 2013Vaudeville and Commedia Dell' Arte are seamlessly
woven into an uproarious fable of scheming lovers, mistaken identities,
and clownish greedy servants. Balancing on a delicately taut tightrope
of mischief and revenge, the crafty servant Scapin promises to help two
pairs of wide-eyed lovers while juggling an array of elaborate disguises
to keep their wealthy fathers from discovering the truth. Remaining true
to Moliere's classic farcical tale from the seventeenth century, this fresh
and side-splitting adaptation adds a late twentieth century spin to the
language and hilarious non-stop action. This production features some
of San Antonio's most talented actors including recent Juliard School of
Drama graduate Brendan Spieth in the titular role.
