By George Chapman 

Inspired by Italian commedia dell'arte, this exuberant and outrageous comedy follows the brilliant schemes of a master conniver. Under various disguises, our hero embezzles, bamboozles, and beds his way to become King of Egypt. In what may be its first professional production in over 400 years, The Blind Beggar of Alexandria is a comedic tour de force.

Playing March 11 through March 29 at the Blackfriars Playhouse.
