THE (UN)USUAL SUSPECTS follows what happens when the miserly Pantalone discovers he's out of money and decides to blackmail a list of six guests into doing his bidding. However, in true Commedia Dell'Arte style, things go awry and plans for revenge get all twisted up—there's laughs, romance, and boy oh boy is there intrigue!

Devised by Susan Bertoia & the UBC BFA in Acting class of 2024
