North Coast Repertory Theatre

The schemes are outrageous. The disguises are ridiculous. The fun is unavoidable. He'll lie, he'll scheme, he'll hide you in a sack. You'll love every minute. North Coast Repertory Theatre presents Scapin, Molière’s irresistible comedy of trickery and mayhem in a dazzling new adaptation by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell — reimagined for today’s audiences with fresh American flair and nonstop physical comedy. Watch crafty servant Scapin spin outrageous webs of disguise and deception to help a band of young lovers outwit their impossibly miserly fathers. Physical comedy and razor-sharp wit collide in this carnival of theatrical surprises — a masterful blend of classic French farce and contemporary slapstick that will leave audiences breathless with laughter.

“A generous gag-fest, packed with rib-tickling delights.” — San Francisco Chronicle 

“The play’s blend of vaudeville and contemporary references results in a two-hour laugh riot.” — Culture Vulture
