The Three Cuckolds
By Leon Katz
Adapted by Bill Irwin
By Leon Katz adapted by Bill Erwin
Directed by David Yeakle
This colorful, bawdy, hilarious adaptation of a 14th-Century commedia dell'arte scenario brilliantly exploits all the comedy of basic human needs: love, money and food!  A pristine farce, it tells the story of a hapless wandering lover who comes to the first of 3 cottages to cuckold the husband who lives there, and gets wound up in the adventurous attempts of all three husbands to cuckold one another.  The company backs into a moral at the end, as the hapless lover wanders off unrequited.  All the while, slapstick hilarity ensues.
