Casa D’Angelo
Written by Ben Stewart
Directed by Ben Stewart
Technical Direction by Adam Bayer
Synopsis: Set in an upscale Italian
restaurant on a Friday night, Casa D’Angelo
follows three concurrent disasters slowly
unfolding through the evening: A young
woman, Florence, finds that the man who
invited her out had asked her on a double
date, bringing another woman and leaving
her dateless, while, one table over, a man
named James struggles to impress his
uninterested and unfaithful wife on the
night of their sixth anniversary, and, all the
while, he is under attack by members of the
restaurant’s staff, who seem to have him
confused with someone else. A very funny
and very strange play, it takes a look at the
ways that people try and fail to
communicate with one another.
