The Alchemist - Ben Jonson

A pair of con artists and their cunning servant use alchemy and deceit to swindle greedy Londoners seeking quick wealth and power. Their elaborate schemes spiral out of control when ambition and jealousy begin to fracture their alliance. As lies collide and disguises unravel, chaos overtakes their carefully constructed illusions. The play satirizes human gullibility and the timeless folly of greed.
