A NOVEL ROMANCE

Abraham Goldfaden's comedy with songs "A Novel Romance" (DI KAPRIZNE KALEMOYD). Adapted and directed by Allen Lewis Rickman. Mixing elements of satire and burlesque, "A Novel Romance" tells the story of a high-strung petit-bourgeois woman whose pursuit of a storybook husband straight out of her German romance novels leads to disaster. When two con men learn of her preferences, her dream man suddenly materializes, complete with the right name (Franz), elegant manner and requisite black moustache.
