The Great One-Man Commedia Epic
The Corner Store
Washington, DC
Taffety Punk is delighted to partner with Faction of Fools Theatre Company to present a special and intimate one-night only performance of actor/writer/director Matthew R. Wilsons The Great One-Man Commedia Epic on Monday, October 12 at The Corner Store.
What makes Wilsons take on commedia dell arte so special? First, hes steeped himself in the study of the form and its traditional ten characters playing out stories of young love and family squabbles. Wilson even uses traditional commedia dell arte masks, designed and hand-crafted in leather by the world-renowned Antonio Fava.
But what makes The Great One-Man Commedia even more delightful and challenging is that Wilson does it all himself, with the aid of a versatile costume by Jessica Wegener. Playing both sides of classic comic double-handers, staging raucous scenes of full-company hysteria, and even dueling himself, Wilson creates the entire world of the commedia dell arte on a bare stage.
