The Crowded Kitchen Players at McCoole's Arts & Events Place Present “Too Clever By Half or Diary of a Scoundrel”

Too Clever By Half follows the audacious efforts of Yegor Gloumov who
contrives to rise above his lowborn station by any means possible, one
precarious rung at a time, up the social ladder. In Gloumov's case, that means
the exhausting chore of pandering to the dotty patrons, matrons, and distant
relatives glaring down at him from each succeeding level, and wooing and
winning their frustrated wives and their even more curious daughters, tasks for
which his good looks, charm, and facile tongue have him well-suited. However,
by keeping a detailed record of his true feelings toward the people he is
exploiting along the way, and worse, by allowing that diary to fall into the
hands of his enemies, he foolishly imperils the improbable gains he has so
swiftly achieved in this cleverly entertaining farce.
