The Tricks of Scapin
Adapted by Aurand Harris from the play by Moliere. A superb adaptation for one-act play contests, classroom study, and mini-productions. Cast of 7 men, 3 women. Neapolitan costumes of 17th century. Open stage.
The comic tricks of that rascal Scapin, the farcical complications of mistaken identity, and the slap-stick elements of commedia dell'arte make this one of Moliere's most appealing comedies. In this short adaptation, brisk dialogue, short scenes, and mounting climaxes retain the joyous spirit of this French classic. The part of Scapin, an actor's dream, was played originally by Moliere himself.
