October 2003

Michael Elliot Brill's Bamboozled! celebrates
the knockabout physical and verbal delights
of the commedia dell 'arte. The script overflows
with zany and lovable rogues and romantics;
a plot with more twists than a corkscrew;
sparkling dialogue and, of course, a happy ending
where villainy is brilliantly blighted
and rightful lovers blissfully united.
