Wonderland Productions proudly presents
La Locandiera (Mirandolina, the Hostess at the Inn)
Goldoni's Classic Italian Comedy as Dinner Theatre.

Back on tour by popular demand in 2013 and 2014!

 Classic comedy, live music and fine dining - La Locandiera transforms restaurants into eighteenth century Florentine Inns.

The seductive innkeeper Mirandolina has every man at her feet - they cover her in diamonds and cower about her like puppy dogs. Until 'the declared enemy of Italian women' - the Ulster Gentleman - checks in.

Piqued, Mirandolina vows to vindicate her sex by making him fall in love with her. Who will lose the night? The misogynist Gent or the seductive Locandiera?

'La Locandiera' is one of Italy's most celebrated comedies. Wonderland's sparkling period production includes a delicious dinner, accompanied by a generous helping of Neapolitan arias and folk songs from Mirandolina and her admirers.
