...I'll believe
That Alchemy is a pretty kind of game,
Somewhat like tricks o' the cards, to cheat a man
With charming.
The world-famous Marlowe Society ("a powerhouse of theatrical expertise" - Sir Ian McKellen) is proud to bring to life Ben Jonson's irresistible comic masterpiece.
Imagine a world where the lust for money and sex drives the greedy to believe the most outrageous of schemes and leads the gullible into extraordinary, farcical situations. Living in a stolen house, master con-artists Face, Subtle and Doll Common are making themselves a fortune. Employing a spectacular array of characters and costumes our three heroes entice, seduce and hustle their way through the playwright's most colourful and eclectic collection of characters, with hilarious results.
The Alchemist is a satirical tour de force - Jonson's bitingly witty critique of humanity as relevant today as it was four-hundred years ago.
