Faction of Fools presents "The Great One Man Commedia Epic (Tickets $18 - $20)

Originally commission in 2004 for Italy's 20th Annual Stage Internazionale,actor/writer/director Mathew R. Wilson single-handedly brings to life the entire cast of 12 characters drawn from the historical Commedia dell'Arte. The story is the classic story of Italian Renaissance comedy: Young lovers have their lives thrown into chaos as their wedding plans are threatened by squabbling fathers, boasting war heroes, and a host of well-meaning but dim-witted servants. The entire town is drawn to the brink of tragedy before love prevails, normalcy is restored, and comedy triumphs. 

The one-man show is a treat for avant-garde theater fans, scholars of dramatic history, and the fun-loving child in all of us, this remarkable event is sure to please anyone who wants to see how modern comedy began 500 years ago as well as those who are looking for laughs today!
