Larry Gelbart, based of Volpone by Ben Johnson

Directed by Dennis Curry

To tickle the humor of today's audiences, Volpone has been moved from 17th century Venice to turn of the century San Francisco. Volpone is now called Foxwell J. Sly and he is the same scheming, rapacious miser vent on extracting forurnes from a trio of rich, greedy opportunists. Sly, pretending to be on his death bed, says he will name each of the three as his sole heir. The extent that the trio will go to acquire Sly's fortune knows no bounds. One goes so far as to disinherit his only son: another offers up his wife to the lecherous Sly. Sly is aided and abetted by his conniving servant in grabbing the other men's gold.

"Truly funny and exhilarating...brings real comedy back to the theatre...There's nothing like pure fun." -N.Y. Post. "pure comedy based on prue greed. It is full of pure laughs." - NBC
