Les Fourberies de Scapin
Les Fourberies de Scapin (literally, "Scapin's Deceits") is a three-act comedy by French playwright Molière. The title character Scapin is similar to the archetypical Scapino character. The play was first staged in 1671 in Paris. The original play is in French but, like many of Molière's plays, it has been translated into many different languages. Adaptations in English include Scapino! by Frank Dunlop and Jim Dale, which has also been further adapted by Noyce Burleson. Bill Irwin and Mark O'Donnell have also adapted the play, as Scapin. Despite a few alterations and modernization of language, the play still retains much of its original structure.
