About the event
As the Black Death ravages the city of Florence, a group of young people decide to leave the city and go to the country to avoid the plague and have fun (yes, it’s in the text – have fun!). Along with singing and dancing, they decide to set aside time to tell stories every day. The play covers the 10 days of storytelling, each done in the style of Commedia dell'Arte. These stories run the gamut from comedy to tragedy, and are based on Bocaccio's original works.
All tickets are free. Please consider making a donation to Laughing Stock Theatre, to support our mission of bringing Commedia to audiences across Chicago!
