The King Stag
by Carlo Gozzi
Directed by Cristian Izzo and performed by IAB Acting students
Synopsis: The magician Durandarte's gift to the King of Serendippo almost leads to disaster when the evil Prime Minister uses it to usurp his power, marry his betrothed - and turn the King himself into a stag! A living statue, a wise-cracking parrot, and a host of characters from commedia dell'arte join the action. Ultimately the King's young bride sees through the Prime Minister's plot and returns her proper husband to the throne. A high-spirited romance enlivened by such delightful characters as the resourceful servant Truffaldino, the crotchety Pantalone, the boastful yet cowardly General Spavento, and the endlessly talkative Smeraldina.
Cast: Laia Alejandre, Marc Wadhwani, Emma Cubilla, Paola Dersigni, Ardel Biran, Marta Puliti, Paula Pérez, Luisa Da Molo, Luna Basilio Macedo and Mercês Borges.
