A night of many misunderstandings.

Una notte di molti equivoci.

When a seemingly ordinary burglar breaks into an elegant apartment, he expects an easy night’s work. However, as the owners, and their lovers, arrive unexpectedly, the burglar finds himself tangled in a whirlwind of mistaken identities, secret affairs, and desperate improvisations. Each lie spirals into another, showcasing the chaos that ensues within a web of deceit.

Quando un ladro apparentemente qualunque si introduce in un elegante appartamento, si aspetta una serata di lavoro semplice. Tuttavia, quando i proprietari, e i loro amanti, arrivano all’improvviso, il ladro si ritrova invischiato in un vortice di identità scambiate, relazioni segrete e improvvisazioni disperate. Ogni bugia ne genera un’altra, mettendo in mostra il caos che si scatena all’interno di una rete d’inganni.

This performance is in Italian and accessible for a non-Italian speaking audience – join us in this experiment to ask how an English-speaking audience can understand the play.
