Scapin—here and now—is it possible? Absolutely. Its theme is timeless: a servant’s revenge on his master, or anyone pushing back against those in power.

Léandre dreams of becoming an actor and living a simple life with his beloved Zerbinette, but his father, Géronte, a powerful businessman, has other plans for him: Léandre is to take over the family company. Desperate, Léandre turns to Scapin, a clever (and rather mischievous) employee, for help. Forever scheming, Scapin sets out to outwit the miser—and to disturb the established order!
