== Introduction ==

From the programme of this show.
"The Alchemist" was first acted at the Globe Theatre by the Kingsa Men in 1610, probably with Richard Burbage as Face. Since then it has been continuously popular, especially after the Restoration and throughout the eighteenth century.

The reason for this popularity is not hard to find; the play is considered to be one of the most perfect plots ever planned. The characters are universal, the theme of human folly, particularly that obsessive greed which betrays fools into the hands of expert manipulators.

Its message remains valid today - con-men, like the poor are always with us.

The "Penguin" edition of Johnson's First Folio "Workes", which was published in 1616, was used and only the most obscure references were deleted.

Volpone (2007)

[[Image:VolponePosterWeb.jpg|thumb|300px|Poster by [[Mark Davies]]]]

by [[Ben Jonson]]

Directed by [[Dave Hollander]]

Assistant director: [[Mark Davies]]

Performances: Tue 5th – Sat 9th June [[2007]], [[Bell Theatre]]

== Introduction ==

     '''V O L P O N E''', childless, rich, feigns sick, despairs, 
     '''O''' ffers his state to hopes of several heirs, 
     '''L''' ies languishing: his parasite receives 
     '''P''' resents of all, assures, deludes; then weaves 
     '''O''' ther cross plots, which ope themselves, are told. 
     '''N''' ew tricks for safety are sought; they thrive: when bold, 
     '''E''' ach tempts the other again, and all are sold.

Wealthy and childless, Volpone devises a scam to amass an even greater fortune with the aid of his 'parasite', Mosca. As he pretends to lie dying, a succession of avaricious would-be heirs (Voltore, Corbaccio and Corvino) is led in to his bed-chamber, each eager to inherit the whole lot.

Volpone gleefully takes to Venice's squares and canals to mock their victims, disguised as a mountebank (quack doctor), and falls in lust with the beautiful Celia, jealous Corvino's wife.

Meanwhile, blundering English tourist, Sir Politic-Would-Be is busy showing off his 'knowledge' of Venetian culture to his hapless protégé, as his overbearing wife takes fashion tips from the local courtesans. Needless to say, the grand Lady Would-Be is keen to impart some of her new-found education on ailing Volpone as she ministers to him.

Mosca entices each of the putative heirs to give up his most prized possession in hope of becoming Volpone's sole heir, and begins to bargain with Volpone for a better share of the wealth.

As each character's greed gets the better of him, only one question remains: who will escape unscathed as the plot unravels before their eyes?

The Alchemist (1967)

== Introduction ==

From the programme of this show.
"The Alchemist" was first acted at the Globe Theatre by the Kingsa Men in 1610, probably with Richard Burbage as Face. Since then it has been continuously popular, especially after the Restoration and throughout the eighteenth century.
The reason for this popularity is not hard to find; the play is considered to be one of the most perfect plots ever planned. The characters are universal, the theme of human folly, particularly that obsessive greed which betrays fools into the hands of expert manipulators.
Its message remains valid today - con-men, like the poor are always with us.
The "Penguin" edition of Johnson's First Folio "Workes", which was published in 1616, was used and only the most obscure references were deleted.
