Yesterday’s Play in a Day

So we did Gozzi’s Love of Three Oranges, with a cast of nine children. The king role absorbed the Truffaldino and Pantalone roles as well, and Smeraldina handled some of the Truffaldino exposition and got a pie in the face (as did Fata Morgana).
I’ve posted the entire 12-minute epic on the NHTJ Play in a Day page, here. Here’s an alternate take of the opening prologue. The squabbling over which type of play to do comes straight from Gozzi’s scenario, by the way.
