    Play Description

    When Thomas D’Angelo pays a long overdue visit to his Italian grandparents, he soon finds himself caught in the middle of the ongoing, if farcical, war between the two. His grandmother, intent on plumping him up with home cooking, is sure she’ll win him over to her side. His grandfather, meanwhile, surreptitiously schemes to make Thomas his ally. Never mind that Thomas has come, in part, to seek advice over the strained relationship he has with their son, his father. He has his hands full just trying to restore calm to the household. But as he works to negotiate a peace between his grandparents, he finds within himself the possibility to resolve the struggles he faces with his father. With echoes of John Patrick Shanley’s Moonstruck and Joe DiPietro’s Over the River and Through the Woods, GRANDMA SERAFINA’S is as marvelous and memorable a confection as her famous tiramisu.

    The Servant of Two Masters
    Carlo Goldoni, adapted by Constance Congdon
    $15.00–$15.95

    Play Description

    Goldoni's eighteenth-century masterpiece is an enduring story of love, passion, and mistaken identity. Young Venetian Clarice can't marry her lover, Silvio. She had been betrothed to Rasponi, who appears to have returned from the dead to claim her. But the Rasponi who appears is actually Beatrice, Rasponi's sister who is in disguise as her brother and has come to Venice to find her suitor, Florinda. Complications arise when a servant greedily seeks employment with both the disguised Beatrice and Florinda and spends the rest of the play trying to serve two masters while keeping the two unaware of the other's presence. The play is based on the Italian Renaissance theater style, Commedia dell arte, and reinvigorated the genre, which is so heavily based on carnival, while bringing to it an element of realism, mishaps, mix-ups, confusions, disguises and mistaken identity that come with the style.
