Introducing Commedia Dell'Arte Performance

Come and meet Arlecchino, Pantalone, Scaramuccia and their friends.  At this interactive Commedia Dell'Arte performance you’ll see a captivating traditional form of Italian mask theatre that goes back hundreds of years and influenced early clowning and ballet. Amazingly all these characters will be performed by just one man, Ralph Johnson. Through the magic of quick-change masks this one man show creates a universe of colourful characters and offers a fascinating taste of this rarely-seen art form.
