Jester for a day at Count Dracula's court
The script "Jester for a Day at Count Dracula's Court" keeps the central theme of Commedia dell'Arte, that of forced marriage.
Here, the fulfilment of love between Giulianna and Count Dracula-Magnifico of Transylvania becomes impossible because of Signoora Pantaleona-Tepes, Dracula's mother, who represents the supreme, highly abusive authority.
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 perambulate before you - the witch who specialises in Japan, other vampire doctors, plus other elements specific to Commedia Dell'Arte (drag, pantomime, fencing, acrobatics, singing and dancing).
Anything and everything is used to bring the lovers together.
But will it be enough?
Love for power or the power of love: which will triumph?
Join us to find out!
