Directed by Andrew Barnicle
Call it Verdi with a twist; several in fact! And you don’t have to be an opera fan to enjoy
its wry humor. The Laguna Playhouse favorite Bernard Farrell—Ireland’s foremost writer
of comedies for the stage—reunites opera aficionados from around the world in
Milan for their annual Verdi Weekend. It’s marked by a command performance at the
grand opera house—and the fiercely competitive Verdi Quiz. But some participants
have more on their agenda as they turn the event into a comic drama rivaling any by
their operatic idol. Featuring all his famous wit and vivid characterizations, this is
Farrell’s first American world premiere.
