Sly Fox

In Larry Gelbart’s comedy Sly Fox, directed by Arthur Penn, Foxwell J. Sly and his servant Simon Able, are two devious conmen out to rob from the rich to give to themselves. It’s the dawn of the Gold Rush in San Francisco, and with everyone falling over themselves with gold fever, Foxwell and his trusty assistant set out to swindle as many as they can.

The play is based on Ben Jonson’s Volpone.
