Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

This past Sunday I went to see the musical "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels". It was being performed in St. Benedict High School's auditorium. I knew many of the students in the cast, so I decided to go watch how they did and see what this play was all about. I hadn't heard anything about the play before I went. The play begins in a casino with a man tricking a woman into giving him money . This man, Lawrence, later sees a man on a train who is also tricking a woman out of her money. His name is Freddy. Freddy is envious of Lawrence and wants him to teach him his ways. After a while, they decide that the town isn't big enough for the both of them. They make a deal that who ever tricks a woman out of $50,000 first got to stay in town. Freddy pretends to be paralyzed and needs $50,000 for rehabilitation. The doctor turns out to be Lawrence. They try to trip each other while both trying to get this woman's money. In the end the woman is the one who is scamming both of them, and she manages to make off with the $50,000.
