Using touches of magic, puppetry, and Commedia Dell’Arte, The King Stag takes us on an imaginative voyage filled with spells, beauty, treachery, and love. We find King Deramo searching for a queen; his only conditions are that she prove faithful and true. But while on a hunting trip in the forest, Tartaglia, the king’s most trusted minister, betrays Deramo and usurps his kingdom. With a cast of courtiers and clowns providing a backdrop of mayhem and intrigue, Deramo must now use wit and cunning to regain his kingdom and save his future queen.
