Top of PageCommedia Romeo and Juliet, A
Synopsis:
Faction of Fools Theatre Company, DCs Commedia dellArte theatre company, continues its 2011-2012 season with A Commedia ROMEO AND JULIET. The classic story of two young lovers divided by a family feud borrows heavily from the tradition of the Italian Comedy. Our high-octane adaptation, featuring five actors in a 70-minute cutting, joins physical spectacularity with Shakespeares poetry and highlights tragedy by juxtaposing it with humor

Adapted by Paul Reisman And Matthew R. Wilson

Top of PageDon Juan
Synopsis:
Lamour the merrier, as Molières legendary lover wears a new mask! Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Molière (1622-1673) was both a father of French national drama and a dramatist in the Italian tradition of Commedia dellArte. He literally shared a stage with Pariss finest Commedia troupe and borrowed many of their plots, characters, and conventions in creating his own plays. He even modeled his famous servant Sganarelle (a part he played himself) on the legendary character Scaramouche created by the Italian comic actor Tiberio Fiorilli. For Season Five, Faction of Fools is excited to produce our first comedy by Molière, Don Juan, freely adapted and directed by two-time Helen Hayes nominee Matthew R. Wilson and featuring local favorite Sun King Davis in the title role. This hilarious send up of high culture is set in a protean art museum outfitted with ever-changing paintings and ambulatory statues. Multi-talented theatre artist Klyph Stanford designs the set, lighting, and projections to create these amazing effects!
