Description

Volpone is a comedy play by English playwright Ben Jonson first produced in 1605-06; drawing on elements of city comedy and beast fable. A merciless satire of greed and lust; it remains Jonsonrsquo;s most-performed play; and it is ranked among the finest Jacobean Era comedies. Volpone (The Fox) is a Venetian gentleman who pretends to be on his deathbed after a long illness in order to dupe Voltore (The Vulture); Corbaccio (The Raven) and Corvino (The Crow); three men who aspire to inherit his fortune. In their turns; each man arrives to Volponersquo;s house bearing a luxurious gift; intent upon having his name inscribed to the will of Volpone; as his heir. Mosca (The Fly); Volponersquo;s parasite servant; encourages each man; Voltore; Corbaccio; and Corvino; to believe that he has been named heir to Volponersquo;s fortune; in the course of which; Mosca persuades Corbaccio to disinherit his own son in favour of Volpone.
