Southwest Shakespeare Company presents:
THE ALCHEMIST
Written by Ben Jonson
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher
Directed by David Ira Goldstein
April 13-16, 2023
Pavilion Taliesin West
LONDON. 1610.
It’s plague time again.
When a wealthy gentleman flees to the country, his trusted servant opens his house to a pair of con artists and sets up a den of criminal capitalism. Claiming alchemical powers, the quick-witted trio fleece an onslaught of greedy sheep with their virtuosic ability to improvise amidst increasingly frantic comings and goings. It’s comic gold with dupes, double-dupes, duels, disguises, and a lucky flea named “Lewis”.
