17th Century, 24-Carat Comedy Magical

When Face, scheming servant and self-styled master conman, is left in sole charge of his gentleman’s London town house, he calls in his not-so-trusty fellow tricksters, the slimy Subtle and irresistible Dol.

Dispensing spurious charms and promises of gold, they whip the vain and greedy sucker list of London society into a frenzy of get-rich-quickery.

But when they mistakenly target a fellow hustler, the sticky-fingered trio are in danger of coming unstuck.

Ben Jonson’s 17th-century satirical farce will be spun into pure comedy gold in the hands of rising star director Robert Icke.
