SCAPIN extended by popular demand! Adapted by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell and directed by Aaron Cromie, this offbeat re-imagining of the Moliere classic puts famous servant Scapin at the center of an inventive interaction between actors and puppets in a production stuffed with chase scenes, revenge plots, slapstick and spoofery, live music, and lots of theater magic for the entire family. Appropriate for ages 8 and up. Final Performances This Week! Tickets are $27-$35 Student Rush Critical Roundup “The humor is quick-witted and the laughs are continuous and varied: slapstick, political, double entendre, silly, and insightful. This is theater at its best.” -Philly2Philly.com [Go] “The cast’s verbal and physical dexterity never ceases to amaze.” -Philadelphia City Paper [Go] “The Lantern’s production provides a welcome diversion from reality.” -Philadelphia Weekly [Go] “Retains much of Moliere’s original structure but also thrillingly engages a 21st-Century audience, adults and children alike.” -Broad Street Review [Go] “Absolutely hysterical and undeniably amazing!” -Philly Theatre Talk [Go] “What a fun way to end the holiday season.” -Phillyist [Go] |
