Longwood University Theatre is proud to present "The Love of Three Oranges" by Hillary DePiano from Nov. 7-9 & Nov. 11-16 at 7 p.m. as well as Nov. 10 & 16 at 3 p.m. The theatre will be open for seating at 6:30 p.m. for the evening performances and 2:30 p.m. for the matinee performances.
We invite you to come out and forget all your dusty misconceptions about the traditions of commedia dell’ arte as "The Love of Three Oranges," based on a scenario by Carlo Gozzi, provides a wild, raucous slapstick comedy that is completely retooled and revised for today’s audiences.
Prince Tartaglia’s life is filled with sickness and misery until an evil witch and her equally evil henchmen curse him to search for three giant oranges. But this quest proves more fruitful than anyone could have imagined as a once-lonely prince discovers love, friendship and laughter when he encounters wizards, monarchs and a wild narrator who isn’t sure how far removed from the story he really is.
