October 28, 2011, Friday - Il Campiello at Open Book (3 nights)
Location: Open Book, 1011 Washington Avenue South
October 28 – 30 and November 18 – 20
The Ten Thousand Things season opens with Steven Epp’s new adaptation of II Campiello by Carlo Goldoni.
Directed by Michelle Hensley, the cast features Sarah Agnew, Nathan Keepers, Elise Langer, Randy Reyes and Namir Smallwood. The commedia-inspired play centers on four scrappy, hard-working, hard-playing families whose daily lives on a small square are interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious wealthy stranger during Carnival.
The show begins its tour to prisons, housing projects and homeless shelters October 13 and concludes with four weekends of public performances at Open Book (and Plymouth Congregational Church).
