The Alchemist _ First performed in 1610 _ Plus: Biography of Ben Jonson.

The play centers around a con man, his female accomplice, and a roguish butler who uses his master’s house to gull a series of victims, lords, greedy commoners, out of their money and goods. They don multiple roles and weave elaborate tales to exploit their victims’ greed and amass a small fortune. But it all comes to a sudden, raucous end when the master unexpectedly returns to London and all the victims gather to try and reclaim their property.
