Riassunto

Carlo Goldoni, the Venetian dramatist and librettist, lent new direction and subtlety to the stock characteristics of the commedia dell'arte tradition. The Venetian Twins is a classic tale of mistaken identity and the ensuing confusion. Mirandolina is one of Goldoni's best known works.

Ranjit Bolt OBE (born 1971) is a British playwright and translator. He was born in Manchester of Anglo-Indian parents and is the nephew of playwright and screen-writer Robert Bolt.

Bolt was educated at The Perse School and Oxford University, and worked as a stockbroker for eight years but 'I was desperate to escape, any escape route would have done, and translating turned out to be the one';. As well as his plays he has published a novel in verse, Losing it and a verse translation for children of the fables of La Fontaine, The Hare and the Tortoise. His new version of Cyrano de Bergerac will open on Broadway at the Roundabout Theatre in September 2012, with Douglas Hodge in the title role.
