The play centers around Sylvia, a discerning woman skeptical of marriage and even more skeptical of men, who concocts a plan with her hilarious and delightfully raunchy lady’s maid, Lisette, to swap identities in order to observe her betrothed unedited. Unbeknownst to both, Sylvia’s promised fiancé, Dorante, has conspired with his valet, Harlequin, to swap places as well. Classic commedia hijinks ensues and love wins the day!
