Christmas in Venice – Il Campiello

Christmas in Venice – Il Campiello

This performance by the Cygnet Company will be directed by Richard Digby Day

Far from St Mark’s Square and the Gran Turismo is the Venice that Venetians live in – this is where the greatest Italian dramatist,
Carlo Goldoni, sets this charming and observant comedy of love and everyday life.
Join us in this bustling Venetian square at Christmas time!
Cygnet Company is thrilled to welcome Richard Digby Day on his return to the New Theatre.

Carlo Goldoni, Italy’s most famous playwright, is best known for his comic masterpiece, The Servant of Two Masters, which has been most recently adapted as One Man, Two Guvnors for the National Theatre’s hit production starring James Corden. Audiences have admired the plays of Goldoni for their ingenious mix of wit and honesty. His plays offered his contemporaries images of themselves, often dramatizing the lives, values, and conflicts of the emerging middle classes.

As funny today as when it was written Il Campiello is a wonderfully entertaining comedy for Christmas.
