An evening of laughter at the Santa Teresa Theatre
On Saturday 2 May 2026, at 9:15 pm, the Teatro Santa Teresa in Verona hosts a show designed for anyone wanting an evening of pure entertainment. The company La Maschera brings to the stage "Don't Shoot the Postman", a brilliant farce that has already won audiences over in its previous performances.
The theatre is located at Via Molinara 23, in a quiet residential neighbourhood, easily reached from the city centre.
The show is based on the text by British playwright Derek Benfield, carefully adapted by the company's direction. The result is a comedy with a fast-paced rhythm, where misunderstandings multiply with every scene and no character seems to really be what they appear.
At the heart of the story: mistaken identities, madcap escapes, a mysteriously disappeared painting and a series of misunderstandings that intertwine and stack up to total chaos. The structure is that of the classic farce, with its slamming doors, secrets that emerge at the worst possible moment and an irony that gives no respite to either the characters or the audience.
La Maschera is a company with a long tradition in Veronese amateur theatre, capable of bringing carefully crafted, engaging shows to the stage. "Don't Shoot the Postman" is one of the titles the group has already staged with success, and this revival is the right chance for those who haven't seen it yet â or for those who want to relive that evening of laughs.
If you are looking for a way to wrap up the 1 May long weekend with lightness and good humour, this show is a spot-on choice.
