ABOUT THE SHOW
Love takes center stage in this uproarious classic French comedy by 18th century playwright Pierre Carlet de Marivaux.
A clever princess is smitten at first sight – but to win her prince, she must woo him in disguise.
Mistaken identities, hilarious complications and deeply felt desire collide head on with Rationalist Philosophy – and surprising romantic entanglements ensue!
Artistic Director Loretta Greco stages Stephen Wadsworth’s magnificent adaptation which inspired a passion for Marivaux in America anew.
