Story
In Sly Fox, comic legend Larry Gelbart's ingenious reimagining of Ben Jonson's Volpone, Richard Dreyfuss stars as devious conman Foxwell J. Sly, who, with his servant Simon Able (Eric Stoltz), sets out to rob from the rich to give to himself. 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. When Sly Fox, an outrageous tale of greed and guile, first debuted on Broadway more than 25 years ago, it was the sensation of many a season and remains for many a high point in stage comedy.
