A Trick To Catch The Old One is a play written by Thomas Middleton, first performed in 1608. The play is a satirical comedy that follows the story of a young man named Jaques who is determined to inherit his uncle's fortune. Jaques hatches a plan to trick his uncle, who is known for his stinginess, into believing that he is dying. He enlists the help of a group of con artists, including his servant, to carry out his plan. However, things do not go as smoothly as Jaques had hoped, and he finds himself in increasingly complicated situations. Along the way, the play explores themes of greed, deception, and the corrupting influence of money. The play is known for its witty dialogue, complex characters, and clever plot twists. It is considered one of Middleton's most popular works and a classic example of Jacobean drama.My Adversary Evermore Twits Me With My Nephew, Forsooth, My Nephew; Why May Not A Virtuous Uncle Have A Dissolute Nephew?
