We haven't even had our wedding dinner
and he's gone off with Susana to Assisi for the afternoon?
What does it mean?”
It’s Anselmo’s big wedding day, but he’s having second thoughts: Will his betrothed remain faithful to him? To put his new wife to the test , he asks his best man to try to seduce her. Join the wedding guests for a celebration like none you've ever witnessed in this delightful modern adaptation based on William Shakespeare and John Fletcher’s long-lost play, “Cardenio.” Peter Garino directs a cast of Shakespeare Project favorites in this special adaptation by Stephen Greenblatt and Charles Mee.
