Details

Summary
In 18th century Venice, Leonardo is spending his way to the top of the heap. He is determined to have the best parties and the most glamorous guests. Unfortunately, his credit has run out and his spoiled fiancee has fallen for the man his sister wants to catch. A Goldoni trilogy condensed into a single full length comedy, Getting Away examines how chasing pleasure can lead to misery in historical Venice and in the credit crazy consumer climate of our own times.
