The project was initiated during the winter of 1997, thanks to Joseph
Hanreddy, the Artistic director of the Milwaukee Rep, who wished to
overcome the difficulties presented in the past when staging commedia
plays in US. Uniting American and Italian artists this production succeeds
in combining the tradition of Commedia with live American entertainment.
