DIRECTOR’S NOTES

Based on Moliere’s comedy, Les Fourberies de Scapin, Scapino! is set against the colorful
backdrop of a Naples seaport café, and follows the story of a clever servant, Scapino, who
tries to help two young men who have fallen in love with penniless young women. His ability
to juggle lovers and reluctant fathers makes for a masterpiece of romance and misadventure.
