For its final production of the fall 2025 semester, the SUNY Oneonta Theatre Department will present “Scapino,” a physical farce comedy adapted by Frank Dunlop and Jim Dale from Molière's 1671 play “Les Fourberies de Scapin.”

According to a news release from the university, the play, set in present-day Naples, features Ottavio and Leandro a couple of friends whose fathers have had to go away on a business trip and leave their sons in the care of guardians, Scapino and Sylvestro. During his father's absence, Ottavio has fallen in love with, and married, the pretty Giacinta. Now he learns his father has returned with plans to “marry him off.” "A series of wild plots and counterplots unfold as Ottavio seeks Scapino’s help," the release stated.
