Princess Turandot. The English translation of the Russian translation of the Italian original by Carlo Gozzi, under the direction of Leo Bulgakov, becomes a beguiling bit of theatrical amusement. An Oriental Princess, the fable has it, would guard her ephemeral freedom from the male sex behind a hazard of riddles. Suitors failing to solve her prehistoric crossword puzzles lose their stupid heads. One young Prince not only guesses all the riddles, but makes Her Wilful Highness like him for it, as well. The feminine "shall I, shall I not" is woven into the fabric of a soundly constructed play...

Three years ago the Club produced Carlo Goldini's "The Liar". This eighteenth century Italian comedy is a difficult piece to play and a difficult piece for a modern audience to appreciate. This fall another eighteenth century Italian comedy will find its way onto the Brattle Hall boards, with "The Orange Comedy", an adaptation by Gilbert Seldes '14 from the Italian original by Carlo Gozzi, a contemporary of Goldini's. Gozzi wove around the stock characters of early slapstick comedy a story from the Arabian Nights, welding together the comic and the romantic elements. The result is something unique...
