First performed in 1610, The Alchemist is one of Ben Jonson’s greatest comedies. Written for the King’s Men—the acting company to which Shakespeare belonged—it was first performed in Oxford because the playhouses in London were closed due to the plague. It was an immediate success and has remained a popular staple ever since. The play centers around a con man, his female accomplice, and a roguish butler who uses his master’s house to gull a series of victims out of their money and goods. Jonson uses the play to satirize as many people as he can—pompous lords, greedy commoners, and self-righteous Anabaptists alike—as his three con artists proceed to bilk everyone who comes to their door. They don multiple roles and weave elaborate tales to exploit their victims’ greed and amass a small fortune. But it all comes to a sudden, raucous end when the master unexpectedly returns to London and all the victims gather to try and reclaim their property.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge said of Ben Jonson's The Alchemist that it had one out of the three most perfect plots in literature. This play, with its sharp portrayal of human folly, is considered by many to be Jonson's best comedy. First performed 1610, its popularity has endured to this day.

The Alchemist is a comedy by English playwright Ben Jonson. It is generally considered Jonson's best and most characteristic comedy; Samuel Taylor Coleridge believed that it had one of the three most perfect plots in literature. The play's clever fulfilment of the classical unities and vivid depiction of human folly have made it one of the few Renaissance plays (except the works of Shakespeare) with a continuing life on stage, apart from a period of neglect during the Victorian era.

The Alchemist is a comedy by English playwright Ben Jonson. Samuel Taylor Coleridge believed that it had one of the three most perfect plots in all of literature. The play's clever fulfilment of the classical unities and vivid depiction of human folly have made it one of the few Renaissance plays (except the works of Shakespeare) with a continuing life on stage, apart from a period of neglect during the Victorian era. The plot, like his other play Volpone, or the Foxe, deal with man's folly in pursuit of wealth. In The Alchemist, a character named Face sets about London deceiving a steady stream of dupes as he goes about dispensing spurious potions and charms. While Face's goal is ostensibly wealth, in Johnson's able hands, the play really deals with those who want to change their station in life, to make themselves into gold. The servant longs to be a master and the ordinary man to be a magician. It's Johnson's genius that allows this dark unfulfilled desire to be an entertaining and humorous life lesson in the end.
