Synopsis: | Crawling with social parasites and crooked conspirators, The Mandrake remains one of the bawdiest plays of the Italian Renaissance. Here is the wicked and uproarious lighter side of political mastermind Niccolo Machiavelli, as he reflects on a world where cunning, vice, and mischief win the day | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Machiavelli, aka Madragola, music and lyrics by Howard Goodall | |||||
Synopsis: | Set in sixteenth-century Florence, the play blends songs and robust action in detailing the hilarious lengths to which the smitten Callimaco goes in winning the favors of Lucrezia, the beautiful young wife of the rich and aged lawyer, Nicia. Fnlisting the aid of the artful trickster Ligurio, Callimaco is passed off as a doctor who has devised a magic potion which, he promises Nicia, will make the heretofore childless Lucrezia conceive. But the catch is that the first man who sleeps with her after she takes the potion will die. Lucrezia's gullible mother and a venal friar, Brother Timothy, are also persuaded to help overcome Lucrezia's scruples against bedding down with a man not her husband (and who needless to say, turns out to be Callimaco in disguise). The resulting twists and turns lead on to nonstop high spirits and hilarity until, in the end, everyone gets exactly what he hopes for and, quite possibly, deserves. | |||||
