Candide

More about the book

Set in a quirky amateur theatre group, this adaptation of Voltaire's Candide follows the misadventures of the naive protagonist as he travels through nine countries seeking his lost love. The journey is filled with outrageous humor, featuring shipwrecks, pirates, and a series of absurd events that include war, wealth, and darkly comedic encounters with death. With a cast of 12 male, 16 female, and over 20 non-gender roles, the play promises a lively and entertaining exploration of optimism amidst chaos.
