Truffaldino, Brighela, Pantolone – they are all here in a delightful version of this commedia dell'arte classic which finds the hapless and insatiable servant embroiled in the slapstick travails of two sets of lovers. madcap adventure, mistaken identities and elaborate disguises are the hallmarks of this grand Italian stage tradition.

"Cone – refurbishing, reshaping, interpreting, polishing – is faithful to the Goldoni spirit and what we suspect to be the Goldoni intention; but he adds, as well, a measure of his own expansive humor, shaped and fashioned to the taste of the modern audience. This is not simply an old play dusted off; it is a piece of theatrical history transformed and adapted for the contemporary stage; an old play re-created into something fresh, alive and new." – Vancouver Sun
