Described as an 18th Century comedy farce, it was written by Carlo Goldoni, a prolific dramatist and a reformer of the traditional Italian comedy of his day. The drama involves fourteen vil- lage inhabitants and a series of mis- understandings about the rightful ownership of a fan. The roduction represented an ensemble show in its finest sense in that roles were of equal im ortance and size, ac- cording to dlfrector William Becvar. Assistant director for the produc- tion was Lynn Kopelke, junior.
