“Flavio Betrayed” is a high-spirited comedy, filled with disguise, deceit, insults, romance, friendship, stinky cheese, and outrageous hats. Told in the traditional Commedia style through an undeniably modern lens, this romantic romp follows the delightfully convoluted story of our hero Flavio, whose best friend is trying to steal the hand of his beloved Isabella, while her father attempts to marry her off to another suitor who is considerably past his prime. This fast-paced comedy has something for everyone – highbrow humor, lowbrow humor, and everything in between.

“Flavio Betrayed” is presented through special arrangement with the author.
