My school is doing this and I've never heard of it. What good parts are their for girls? If you know anything about this play, please help me get a better understanding of it. Thank you.

They did it at a local community college a few years ago and it was hilarious. It's probably been one of my favorite community/college shows that I've ever seen. Theres a HUGE amount of room for improv/audience participation. It got a little racy but I'm sure they can tone it down if your in a high school production.

Smeraldina, the maid, is the most fun female role. She has the most comic material.

Remember, this was originally written in Italian. There are many different tranlations and adaptations - some raunchier than others.

Umm, I guess I am. Yeah, I'm sure its going to be pretty toned down. Its going to be a middle school play
