Overview of The Red HatEffortlessly incorporating the elements of traditional Commedia del’arte, The Red Hat aims to deliver an authentic and hilarious representation of the style. The scenario revolves around the interactions of the stock characters, comically portraying a series of ridiculous misunderstandings which build upon each other, sending the characters into a humorous frenzy trying to right the wrongs; each trying to solve a different problem. The hierarchy and varying intelligence of the personalities creates opportunity for crafty slapstick, as well as laughable reasons for the misunderstandings and miscommunication (despite being highly unlikely).
The first act establishes the issues and misunderstandings that would be played out in the second act, and resolved in the third.
