A Solo Commedia dell' Arte Show
After a sellout season in 2023 Andrew Crupi returns with his spectacular Solo Commedia Show. Spring has sprung, the creatures of the forest are waking, and the King has announced the annual hunting competition. As hero’s from far and wide disappear into the forest, can the brash Capitano claim the prize or will Flavio the humble farmer prove himself to be the true hero of the kingdom. Watch as Crupi switches seamlessly between multiple characters, through the use of traditional Commedia dell' Arte masks and dynamic storytelling, to weave a tale of love, intrigue and adventure accompanied by musician Jake Morrison and his live original score. A charming, funny and original theatre production for all ages.
