		Francesco Andreini appeared on the artistic scenario in Cesena, at a moment, in which there was a definite lack of innovative painters, therefore he met with the lasting success which can be testified by the setting up of a studio, which was active throughout the 18th century and beyond.

		Andreini got the inspirations for his works from Baroque protagonists like Caravaggio and Reni.

		Pantalone (David Patrick Kelly) is a two-bit tailor lured by the promise of women; Francesco Andreini (Jeremy Webb) a street hustler who will challenge Flaminio for control of the troupe’s future.
		Francesco’s discovery of a gentle-born new leading lady, Isabella (the silvery-voiced Erin Davie), with a gift for play-making, will point the way toward innovations that Flaminio, stuck firmly in stock mode, cannot abide.
		The only real events of note are a trip to perform before the French king, who is not amused, and the growing conflict between Flaminio and Francesco, which gives rise to an aptly stagy, melodramatic ending.
