The frivolities and foibles of love in all its deceptive permutations are the bubbly subjects of this thoughtful, romantic musical Based on the wise and witty “Anatol” plays of famed Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler. Anatol is a handsome and experienced late 19th-century Viennese man about town with a fondness for everything female. With the assistance of his wily friend (and our narrator) Max, Anatol’s merry rendezvous with five very special women are recounted before our delighted eyes as our hero discovers love is indeed a game with amusing, bemusing rules. With Book & Lyrics “The Fantasticks’” Tom Jones and a bewitching score adapted by Nancy Ford (“I’m Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road”) from the music of operetta king Jacques Offenbach, “The Game Of Love” is a lyrical theatrical confection that sparkles with the taste, humor, insight, sophistication and hint of melancholy we expect from its cumulative authors. As with all of Jones’ works, the piece is minimal in its production, cast and orchestra demands, reveling in the magic of the audience’s imagination.
