At the center of this sharp-witted comedy is Mirandolina, a fiercely intelligent innkeeper who has no interest in surrendering her independence to the parade of wealthy men competing for her attention. But when a smug nobleman arrives, determined to prove himself immune to her charms, Mirandolina decides to teach him a lesson he won’t forget. Full of flirtation, deception, physical comedy, and theatrical invention, Mirandolina is a fast-paced battle of wit and ego under the stars. A wildly entertaining game of seduction, manipulation, and comic revenge packed with masks, movement, and the playful theatricality that defines Odyssey Theatre.
