Synopsis

This play within a play is about a theatre company going through economic strife as it attempts to mount Goldoni’s famous Commedia and its absurdly complicated circumstances keeping two pairs of lovers apart, while the servant Truffaldino tries to bring everything to a happy conclusion. 

Reviews

“…Will have you thinking that times like these really are pretty great.”

Oregon Live 

“…It is brilliant, and contains perhaps a hint of something beyond the laughs.”
