SCAPINO

at the Lauren K. Woods Theatre

Scapino, by director Frank Dunlop and actor Jim Dale, is an outrageous comedy adapted "a long way off from Moliere" but exhibiting the classic elements of the French master and the Italian "commedia d'ell arte." Scapino is the wily servant who twists the rules to trick his master's father into allowing him to marry the girl of his dreams while the waiters, waitresses and customers of a seaside restaurant sing parodies of "O Solo Mio" and the names of menu items like "veal scallopine."

MOLLY SWEENEY

It is the story of Molly Sweeney, a woman who has been blind since childhood, who undergoes an operation to restore her vision.
