BALTIMORE, MD --The Mobtown Players will present "Volpone," Ben Jonson's classic farce about greed and deception, April 16 through May 1, 2004. Performances will take place Thursdays throught Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. A special preview night is scheduled for April 15.Brian Irons stars as Volpone, a con man who pretends to be a wealthy invalid in an effort to ingratiate himself with the leaders of Venetian society and gain acess to their money, their favors, and even their women. His unknowing victims jockey for position, each hoping to become Volpone's heir. Carlos Del Valle plays Mosca, Volpone's conniving servant and a man who will work any angle to help his master.
