Jean-Baptiste Molière, Director: Goga Kachibaia
Comedy in 1 Act

Two boys in love, who fear their fathers wrath, two pretty but poor girls of unknown origin, two wealthy fathers who come back to arrange the marriage of the enamored boys to completely other girls and one servant Scapin who in two seconds spins a whirlpool of intrigues to save the enamored boys, whip the avarice, bring happiness to the Mediterranean city of Naples and yield laughter and merriment from the beholder. On the stage of our theatre Moliere will once again compete with Italian Commedia dell’Arte and remind the audience that if not for his Scapin, the world theatre would have also had to do without Figaro.
