Odyssey Theatre is excited to announce their upcoming show to celebrate their 40th anniversary of “Theatre Under the Stars”!! This summer, catch Mirandolina, a bold adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s classic, The Mistress of the Inn. Theatre Under the Stars takes place at the picturesque and beautiful Strathcona Park located on Range Road beside the Rideau River east of Sandy Hill.
From the Odyssey Theatre site:
“At the center of this sharp-witted comedy is Mirandolina, a fiercely intelligent innkeeper who has no interest in surrendering her independence to the parade of wealthy men competing for her attention. But when a smug nobleman arrives, determined to prove himself immune to her charms, Mirandolina decides to teach him a lesson he won’t forget. Full of flirtation, deception, physical comedy, and theatrical invention, Mirandolina is a fast-paced battle of wit and ego under the stars. A wildly entertaining game of seduction, manipulation, and comic revenge packed with masks, movement, and the playful theatricality that defines Odyssey Theatre.
What happens when the smartest person in the room is done playing nice?”
