YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU

Thank you for coming to Terrey Hills Public School today. The performance was funny, entertaining and delivered at just the right level for the students. The Italian/English language mix was 'perfetto' as was the audience participation.

Hi Bianca, I just wanted to say a big hearty thank you for taking the time to come out today. You have enlivened the experience for the boys. I am really grateful for your expertise and practice.

For days, Pantalone has been surrounded by an unpleasant smell. The whole city of Venice is clouded by his stench. As always, Colombina does her best to solve the situation and runs to Dottor Balanzone's office, but due to a series of circumstances, Il Dottore has left the city abruptly and the only one left who could solve the problem is the young doctor apprentice: Dottorino.
Dottorino has a solution for everything: a new potion invented by him that makes anyone intelligent (even Arlecchino!). Dottorino with the help of Pulcinella, manages to operate on old Pantalone, remove the rotten tooth and take his breath away!
The story unfolds intertwined with the servants' whimsical declarations of love and the torments of the young lovers with a surprise ending: will Dottorino accept Pantalone's beautiful daughter, Isabella, in marriage? And what will Isabella do...? ?!
Although traditionally structured, this plot uses a modern and direct language that allows the inclusion of current themes, bringing the Commedia dell'arte style closer to contemporary reality and the experience of a younger audience.

Suitable for Primary and High school students. Italian language is used for Italian students and our actors are also able to improvise using Arabic, French and Portuguese.

I taught Year 6 today and they said they really enjoyed the performance last Thursday. Here are a few comments: I thought it was amazing. It was hilarious. It was incredible to see how the actors knew the characters so well and improvised the whole show.

We absolutely loved the performance you gave. All aspects of the production were highly professional and polished, and the performers themselves were absolutely riveting and amazingly versatile.

The students were amazed at the quality of acting and the wonderful costumes, and that they found the play very humorous. They particularly enjoyed the actors engaging in audience interaction.
