The Mandrake: Machiavelli’s Satirical Renaissance Rom-Com
Archway Theatre (North Hollywood, CA)
Physical comedy, Renaissance garb and mischief abound in this tale of unconventional love by Macchiavelli, the writer best known for his political treatise The Prince. This Renaissance rom-com is a funny, sexy ride through Machiavelli’s Florence. The action follows a wealthy playboy with his sights set on a virtuous beauty. Unfortunately for him, she’s already married. Fortunately for him, her husband is an idiot. Throw in a crooked friar and a shamelessly manipulative mother-in-law, and this complicated web of deceit has more drama than a Real Housewives episode — and more laughs too. See how it all unfolds when the Archway Theatre in Los Angeles performs The Mandrake.
