Additional Notes
- Spavento has very limited stage time in this show.
- Act 3 requires very energetic scenes to match Acts 1 & 2, the troupe needs to practice the madness interactions to make them jump.
- Pantalone needs to be over-the-top disgusting in the first scene for the audience to tolerate what he gets at the end of Act 1.
- There are two “Chekov’s Gun” situations: 1. The boxes don’t get mixed up. 2. No one gets dressed up in Flaminia’s dress.
