Synopsis
This adaptation is a highly inventive version of Pinocchio. Take the hijinks of the commedia dell'arte, add those zany characters—including Geppetto, Fire Eater, Fox and Cat, and the most wonderful Blue Fairy imaginable—then mix in a nonstop adventure, and you're all set to raise the curtain. The house-on-fire pacing will leave you breathless, the hilarious comedy will leave you laughing, and some unexpectedly touching moments will leave you loving this Pinocchio even more. This show is a satisfying and stylish play, offering directors exciting opportunities for creative staging and the actors a variety of plum roles.

Customer Reviews
- "Pinocchio provides actors with an opportunity to develop their skills in movement and character development. Movement is especially important to the successful playing of this script. Also a good introduction to commedia dell arte and this period/style."
