The Venetian Twins - 1979 - Australia History , Info & More

Based on the play by Carlo Goldoni

Swordfights, mistaken identities, and mayhem abound! Two identical twin brothers, raised separately, each decide to visit Verona for the very first time. Neither knows the other is in town, and it isn't long before their friends and love interests start to confuse them for each other with delightfully funny results.



Penned by Carlo Goldoni (who also wrote 2007's Rose Footprint Theatre hit The Servant of Two Masters), The Venetian Twins is a brilliant example of commedia dell'arte, reminiscent of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. Using wildly inventive language, Goldini gleefully bombards his characters with one comic misunderstanding after another—leaving the audience dizzy with plot twists and laughter.



Performed in our outdoor Rose Footprint Theatre, this joyful comedy is the perfect outing for a sunny summer's day. Fun for the whole family! (At the Rose Footprint Theatre/Bankside)

A.C.T. Presents John Guare's 'RICH AND FAMOUS' Opening 1/8
by BWW News Desk - Jan 8, 2009


American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) continues its 2008-09 season with John Guare's Rich & Famous, directed by John Rando (Urinetown, The Musical and Wedding Singer on Broadway) in its first major revival since its 1976 New York debut. From the ingenious mind of John Guare, who brought Six Degrees of Separation and The House of Blue Leaves to the American stage, this delicious dark comedy springs to life with twisted humor, rapid-fire dialogue, and outrageous plot twists. The revival script includes significant rewrites to the original text, as well as hilarious songs freshly scribed by Guare himself. In Rich and Famous, playwright Bing Ringling yearns to savor the sweet taste of celebrity, and he's hoping play number 844 will be his lucky break. But on opening night, he slips into a nightmarish phantasmagoria that shows him just how wrong things can go.
