The Italians in England (2025) brings the spirit of Commedia dell’Arte to modern audiences.

The year is 1572. Queen Elizabeth I is on the throne. Shakespeare and the professional London stage are some years away but in Italy a new theatrical phenomenon is exploding: Commedia dell’ Arte. This combination of mask, comedy, amusing plots, actresses and improvisation took Europe by storm. Our play starts at the court of Queen Elizabeth who insists that her Master of Revels bring the Italian players to London to perform before her.

Performed with leather masks, exquisite costumes and live music, The Italians in England aims to bring to life the Golden Age of Commedia dell’ Arte in the story of Il Vecchio Geloso (The Jealous Old Man), adapted from an original canovaccio by Flaminio Scala. A young lover attempts to consummate his love for the wife of jealous husband, Pantalone. Servants and masters seek love too. Raw passion and reality collide in a clear but complex plot set in a country villa outside Venice – which includes a memorable lunch party invaded by wild boar.
