The Alchemist

JULY 29 – August 8, 1964
By Ben Jonson
Directed by Carl Hare

An outbreak of plague in London forces a gentleman, Lovewit, to flee temporarily to the country. He leaves his house under the sole charge of his butler, Jeremy. Jeremy uses the opportunity given to him to use the house as the headquarters for fraudulent acts. He transforms himself into “Captain Face,” and enlists the aid of Subtle, a fellow conman, and Dol Common, a prostitute.
