Venice. A wedding is about to take place in the house of the rich merchant Pantalone. His daughter Clarice is to marry her lover Silvio. The engagement party is already underway when the servant Truffaldino suddenly bursts in and announces his master - Federigo Rasponi, Pantalone's rich business partner. So far, so good, but there are two serious problems: firstly, Federigo is Clarice's ex-fiancé and secondly, he is considered by everyone to be recently deceased. Panatalone's request to give her daughter's hand in marriage to the unexpectedly resurrected man is followed by bitter tears from Clarice and bloody oaths of revenge from Silvio. But in truth, Federigo is not at all who they think he is. Instead, his disguised sister Beatrice is posing as her brother in order to secretly follow her lover Florindo. Florindo is suspected of having murdered the real Federigo. To make matters worse, Florindo turns up and Truffaldino, poorly paid, hungry and bored, begins a turbulent double existence as the servant of both Beatrice and Florindo, who unfortunately both stay in the same hotel, so that chaos finally takes its course.
Carlo Goldoni's famous play from 1746 is considered one of the greatest comedies in theater history, a classic of commedia dell'arte and a fast-paced firework display of intrigue, mistaken identity and disguise.
