WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Based on the 1988 film of the same name, this side-splitting comedy about two con artists living on the French Riviera will have audiences in stitches. The action circles the suave Lawrence Jameson, who makes his living by sweet-talking wealthy women out of their fortunes and the small-town crook Freddy Benson, who swindles the ladies by lavishly fabricating a story about his ailing grandmother. After the two meet, they soon realize the French Riviera is not big enough for the two of them - and the first to obtain $50,000 from the young heiress may remain on the island, the other must leave. May the smoothest swindler win!

Watching the Cape Playhouse cobble together a musical in just two weeks is like seeing a magician pull a fast one: How is it possible to muster such fine production values, not mention superlative performances, on so stringent a schedule? Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, enjoying its first regional production here under Mark Martino's sure-handed direction, is a perfect example of what this 81-year-old institution does so brilliantly. It also augurs well for the imminent small-stage dissemination of this 2005 Broadway hit by David Yazbek and Jeffrey Lane.
The Playhouse is lucky to have a consummate pro like Brent Barrett playing continental smoothie Lawrence Jameson. Barrett gets to use every demi[...]
