Volpone (2007)

2007-05-22T21:11:00Z

91.104.79.62: /* Crew */

[[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?
