Love & Other Games
About
Set in sixteenth century Venice, the cunning and despotic merchant Pantalone De' Bisognosi, has arranged his daughter Isabella to marry Dottoreās rich son against her will. In an act of rebellion Isabella goes undercover to passionately pursue her true love for the handsome but less affluent Ottavio.Meanwhile, another crisis is rocking the shores of Venice when the two servants Arlecchino and Pulcinella gamble their savings on a dodgy lottery ticket. Colombina, Isabella's maid, gifted with a quick wit and a bit of luck, proves to be the only one capable of directing both sets of characters toward the ending they deserve.
Our shows follow the Commedia dell'Arte tradition, that due to its improvised nature grants actors to become storytellers with complete creative freedom. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity for a classic plot of Commedia to unfold freely in front of your eyes as no two plays are the same!
