Tom Jones is based on Henry Fielding's classic 18th century novel which is a comic masterpiece.  Foundling Tom Jones grows up the ward of the wealthy Squire Allworthy and falls for his beautiful neighbor Sophia Western.   After Sophia's father forbids a marriage between the two young lovers, Tom is banished.    Sophia and her maid Honor set off after him.   Sophia, pursued by her father and aunt, finds her cousin Harriet who is on the run from her controlling husband.  Tom rescues a beautiful woman from a robber and all find themselves on a mad cap, laugh a minute chase scene.  It was made into the bawdy, hilarious movie which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.  Tom Jones promises to be a most uproarious and entertaining play.
