  About the Play

The play centers on the wealthy Silvia. Her father is
determined
to marry her off and is seeking a suitor, Dorant, the son of
an old friend.
In order to examine Dorant more closely, Silvia decides to
swop roles
and costumes with her maid, Lisette. Silvia’s father and
brother are however aware that 
Dorant has decided on exactly the same
ploy, swapping places with his Italian chauffeur,
Arlecchino.
This sets the scene for a play about love, sex and social
class.
