Notes:
Adapted by Jenny Newell Cook and Lorraine Thompson from Edmond Rostand's "The Romancers"

Synopsis:
Dreamy young lovers Lelio and Silvia must keep their love a secret from their fathers, who are fierce rivals. Will a scheme featuring the loveable Arlecchino (whose main occupation is taking money from others) and a quartet of bumbling bandits save the day? Middle and high school actors will revel in this fast-paced, uproarious one act complete with screwball antics and a cast of madcap characters including two saucy servants, a lovable miser, and a host of zanies. It is this type of slapstick humor that makes the performance style of commedia dell'arte a perfect match for young actors.

Notes:
This is an adaptation of William Congreve's restoration comedy

Synopsis:
This easy-to-stage adaptation of William Congreve's Restoration masterpiece features a hilarious cast of aristocratic rogues and schemers who are determined to prevent the marriage of two young lovers, Mr. Mirabell and Millamant. Millamant's fortune rests on marrying a suitor who has been approved by her rich aunt, Lady Wishfort. But Lady Wishfort detests Mr. Mirabell because he pretended to be in love with her just to gain access to Millamant. To win both Millamant and her fortune, Mr. Mirabell has concocted a plot to dupe Lady Wishfort into marrying his servant, Mr. Waitwell. Then Mr. Mirabell will pretend to discover the imposter and release Lady Wishfort from the marriage on condition that she allow him to marry Millamant. The plan seems as though it may succeed, but the greedy, adulterous Mr. Fainall hears of Mr. Mirabell's scheme and sets forth his own plot to gain access to the inheritance. Twists and turns abound as layers of deceit, greed, and villainy are peeled away. Considered one of the greatest of all Restoration comedies, this play's witty repartee, colorful characters, and acts of human folly will delight audiences.
