Scapin at North Coast Repertory Theatre

North Coast Repertory Theatre presents Scapin, Molière’s irresistible comedy of trickery and mayhem in a dazzling new adaptation by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell — reimagined for today’s audiences with fresh American flair and nonstop physical comedy. Watch crafty servant Scapin spin outrageous webs of disguise and deception to help a band of young lovers outwit their impossibly miserly fathers. Physical comedy and razor-sharp wit collide in this carnival of theatrical surprises — a masterful blend of classic French farce and contemporary slapstick that will leave audiences breathless with laughter. “A generous gag-fest, packed with rib-tickling delights.” — San Francisco Chronicle “The play’s blend of vaudeville and contemporary references results in a two-hour laugh riot.” — Culture Vulture Christopher Williams directs Paul Slade Smith* (Scapin), David Ellenstein* (Geronte), James Newcomb* (Argante), Tim Frangos* (Leander), Miles Blue (Octave), David McBean* (George), Omri Schein* (Sylvestre), Gabbie Adner (Hyacinth), Sophia Oberg* (Nerine), Marie Zolezzi* (Zerbinette).
