THE SICILIAN
Comedy — 45 minutes / 6M, 2W

Freely translated and adapted from Le Sicilien by Molière

synopsis

Adraste and Isidore are madly in love, but so long as Isidore's husband watches over her like a hawk, they cannot be together. Adraste and his trusty servant pull out all the stops to free Isidore from her husband's clutches — but will it be enough? Molière's The Sicilian is a little-known comedic gem by a master of the form.

 


reviews

“An adaptation of one of Molière's lesser-known comedies, The Sicilian is a model Fringe show: it's short, well-acted, and has been put together with the kind of loving attention to detail – everything from the costumes to the programme layout to the (deliberately) out-of-tune music – that few other productions try to match. [...] It's a treat.”

– Paul Isaacs, EYE Weekly
***** (5/5 Stars)
