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.
