A powerful magician, a good king, and evil prime minister, heart-sick lovers, and silly servants all frolic in Carlo Gozzi’s 18th century fairy tale, The King Stag.  Written in the style of commedia dell’arte, this fanciful story takes us to the forest of Roncislappe, in the kingdom of Serendip, where men become creatures and creatures become men; where deceit, lies, magic, murder, betrayal and loyalty all share the stage in pursuit of true love.
