Volpone at American Shakespeare Center

In Jonson’s comic masterpiece, the residents of extravagant Venice are transformed into animals by an infection of greed, as the rich, sly Volpone tries to trick his neighbors out of an inheritance through masks, feigned illness, and miserly mischief. With ASC actor-manager and favorite John Harrell as Volpone, this bombastic satire will have you rolling in the aisles while also questioning your own judgment.
