Volpone

Volpone (Italian for "sly fox") is a comedy by English playwright Ben Jonson first produced in 1606, drawing on elements of city comedy and beast fable. A merciless satire of greed and lust, it remains Jonson's most-performed play, and it is among the finest Jacobean Era comedies. Read More...

Characters from original script:
