To tickle the humour of today's audiences, Ben Johnson's Volpone has been moved from 17th century Venice to turn of the century San Francisco
Volpone is now called Foxwell J. Sly and he is the same scheming, rapacious miser bent on extracting the fortunes from a trio of rich, greedy opportunists
Sly, pretending to be on his death bed, says he will name each of the three as his sole heir. The extent that the trio will go to acquire Sly's fortune knows no bounds
One goes as far as to disinherit his only son, another offers his wife to the lecherous Sly. Sly is aided and abetted by his conniving servant in grabbing the other men's gold
"Pure comedy based on pure greed. It is full of pure laughs" ~ NBC
