Jester for a Day at Count Dracula's Court

The scenario "Jester for a Day at Count Dracula's Court" maintains the central theme of Commedia dell'Arte, that of forced marriage. Here, the fulfillment of love between Giulianna and Count Dracula-Magnifico of Transylvania becomes impossible due to Signora Pantaleona-Tepes, Dracula's mother, who represents the supreme authority, extremely abusive.

Fortunately, our two heroes can rely on their loyal servants, Arlecchino and Enalena, who will do everything in their power to bring them together. A whole suite of interesting characters will parade before you - the witch specializing in Japan, other vampire doctors, and all these are added to other specific elements of Commedia Dell'Arte (cross-dressing, pantomime, fencing, acrobatics, singing, and dancing). Everything is resorted to in order to bring the lovers together. But will it be enough?

Love for power or the power of love: which will triumph? Come join us to find out!
