Venetian Twins

Broadway comic hit presented by The Western Players

 

Wyvern Theatre

08-11 November 2017

 

Twins separated at birth turn up in Verona, one for an arranged marriage and the other to meet a girl who has run away from her family for him.

 

Mistaken identities, marriage-trading and outrageous deceptions duly result in chaos.

 

The pathways towards a return to order involve duels, betrayals, spats, arrests, a casket of stolen jewels, and even death by poison: the show’s comic high point!

 

 

Venetian Twins was the comic hit of the 1994 Off-Broadway season. Written in 1743 by Goldoni, the master of Italian comedy, this piece of slapstick foolery hasn’t lost an ounce of freshness and is brought to you by Swindon’s longest-established company.

 

Tickets: £13.00 Concessions: £11.00
