The Rude Mechanical Theatre Co.
Wednesday 19th June, 7.30pm
This wonderful outdoor theatre group returns for Bignor Roman Villa for the third year, performing their brand new play 'Harlequin Goes to the Moon'
The play, set in 16thC Florence, moves between flat out hilarity, sweet
romance and savage satire in its retelling of a very old story. It follows
the antics of two innocent young things, Catalina and Federico, who see each other across a crowded piazza and fall in love! But she is poor and he is the son of a very rich and mean banker (who of course forbids the match).
For prices and where to obtain your ticket please download the Harlequin Goes to the Moon flyer.
