Join us to finally experience the full production of our Kyogen adaptation of Volpone, the 17th-century British satire about human greed, lust, and manipulation set in Venice.

Volpone (The Fox) is a Venetian gentleman who pretends to be on his deathbed after a long illness in order to dupe Voltore (The Vulture), Corbaccio (The Raven) and Corvino (The Crow), three men who aspire to inherit his fortune. Each of them visits Volpone's house bearing a luxurious gift, intent upon having his name inscribed to the will of Volpone as his heir. Mosca (The Fly), Volpone's parasite servant, encourages each man in turn to believe that he has been named heir to Volpone's fortune. However, the scheme spirals out of control as greed and deception escalate. Mosca’s manipulations cause chaos, leading to betrayals and unexpected twists in this biting satire of human folly.
