Sylvia is a single young woman still living at home. Her father thinks it’s time she considers finding a suitable man to marry. He convinces her to meet Dorante, a possible suitor. Despondent that her father is trying to impose his taste of men on her, she and the house maid, Lisette, trade places in order to more objectively asses Dorante’s character. Unbeknownst to her, Dorante has also traded places with his butler so as to get a better assessment of Sylvia. What follows is a comedy of mixed up identities and employees taking advantage of their employers. This World Premiere translation and adaptation will delight audiences with its clever and unexpected twists.
