The great Italian theatre performed in English

A brillant play adapted from "Mandragola" by Niccolò Machiavelli

The hilarious tale of the smitten Callimaco who desires to sleep with Lucrezia, the beautiful young wife of the rich and dumb lawyer Nicia. He pretends to be a doctor who has devised a magic potion, with the mandrake root, which will make the heretofore childless Lucrezia conceive. But the catch is that the first man who sleeps with her after she takes the po-tion will die. The resulting twists and turns lead on to nonstop high spirits and hilarity.
