Meet Il Dottore! This Commedia (an Italian style of mask theatre) stock character is always full of food and too tired to finish his lengthy (and usually nonsensical) speeches!
Actor Luke Brett describes how to perform the traditional stock character as well as what he’s done to create Dr. Rory (father of the Golden Twins) for Talespinner Children’s Theatre’s production of Golden: A Grimm’s Faerie Tale!

When a golden creature promises a poor husband and wife riches, they discover that all that glitters is not necessarily gold! Two golden twins, two golden horses, two golden lillies, a witch, and a comic romp make up this tale of what it means to find the REAL riches in life. Part Grimm’s Faerie Tale, part Commedia, and ALL fun, this sparkling tale of loyalty, friendship, and family will have you on the edge of your seat.
