“Oh, the stratagems of love!”
Carlo
Goldoni's A Curious Mishap was a
fantastic period comedy, relying on the common theme of mistaken identity, the
machinations of love, and delightful wordplay to put the audience into a good
humor. My initial skepticism (brought about by a recent less-than-stellar
theater experience) was quickly overcome by the talented cast, all of whom have
a penchant for pronunciation and whip-fast comedic timing, and the efforts of
the unseen crew, which silently showed themselves in every aspect of the
production.
