Initially, Freddy asks Lawrence to teach him the trade, and Lawrence agrees, giving Freddy a subservient role in the cons while teaching him. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels began life as a 1988 non-musical comedic film, starring Michael Caine, Steve Martin and Glenne Headley. The film tells the story of two con artists who prey upon wealthy women tricking them out of their money: Lawrence Jameson, a well established, educated, upper class resident of a French Riviera resort, and a young unvarnished, underachieving newcomer, Freddy Benson, who upon arriving in the resort is impressed by the older man’s success at the game, and his resulting lifestyle and worldly belongings. Now, for those who are willing to read further, and interested: the details. The 1988 film starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine. This show is definitely worth the price of a ticket. It all works, not only producing an energetic, effervescent, delightful musical comedy, but also permitting two extraordinarily gifted young talents (Sabrina Hebert and Eoghan McDowell) to shine as stars for the first time. She in turn, breaking from another long-standing Camelot practice of relying primarily on a limited, exclusive and discreet group of actors, employing them again and again in role after role, instead elected to cast two vibrant young newcomers in key roles.
Rains’ great choices began with the selection of director Olivia Harrison, who was given the freedom to cast the roles and imprint the production with her own imaginative, creative vision. Breaking from Camelot tradition in the past, when most artistic decisions were made top-down from the artistic director, and pressed upon the rest of the company’s production crew and cast, Rains trusted his chosen production team to use their respective talents and skills to make creative and artistic decisions thus incorporating exceptional contributions from a collection of brilliant collaborators to produce one of the best shows in Camelot Theatre’s long history. Rains did a fantastic job of picking a play and choosing a talented director, designers & production team members. If this show represents a fair example of what’s ahead for Camelot Theatre, the company (and its audience) can look forward to a GREAT future.
It is the first Camelot show completely under the control of new artistic director Roy Rains and marks the beginning of a new era for the theater.
