The Deceived
T1404944172
A comic play on which Shakespeare based
Twelfth Night and written by the Intronati di Siena in 1532 (Gli'Ingannati). The secret passions of a teenage girl lead her to a bizarre love triangle with another woman and a man who wants to kill them. The resulting mayhem almost brings two families to war. Lelia's father wants her to marry his old friend Gherardo. She has other ideas - most of them about Flamminio, who's crazy about Isabella, but feeling strangely attracted to new boy about town, Fabio, who has also caught the eye of Isabella. 'the Deceived' is an energetic, cross-dressing romp through a world of teenage sexual adventure, provocative nuns, scheming servants and horny old men.
