We open the season with a quest for love. It follows the sly seductress Leonide as she adopts the dress and prerogatives of a man, invades the retreat of a rationalist philosopher who hates love, and wins the object of her desire. Gender confusion is pivotal in the hilarious situations that ensue as the emotional stakes rise.
"A literary and theatrical revelation.... This is the greatest play that Shakespeare and Moliere never wrote." - American Theatre
