Description A free translation of Moliere's farce by Rex Cramphorn and the Actor's Development Stream. The press release announced:

"The plot is simple, involving young lovers, miserly and inflexible parents and confused identities; but eventual joy comes to all, when with the help of Scapin acting as mediator, psychologist and friend, the lovers are reunited and the fathers, bursting with parental pride, bless all on stage including the mischievous but by now chastened Scapin."
