"I GELOSI" by David Bridel

Author:  David Bridel

Synopsis: I Gelosi (The Zealous Ones) lovingly recreates the world of the commedia dell'arte and tells the story of Italy's first great traveling theatre troupe.  In the late 16th Century the Gelosi company takes the provinces by storm, thanks to the beauty, wit and charm of Isabella Andreini, one of the very first women ever to play on the stage.  Invited to perform at the Court of King Charles IX of France, the Gelosi become the toast of Europe - until they risk the wrath of the Pope with a virulent theatrical satire.  Hounded from the French Court, the company's fortunes sink, despite the increasing brilliance of Isabella's talents.  Jealousy, madness, and selfishness tear the company apart.  Finally, the Gelosi return to the poverty from whence they came.
