Adriano Cappelletta showcased his ability to tell a good story, his fine acting talents, a good sense of comic timing and a strong voice with his entertaining solo show, ADO SAVES THE GAY WORLD.

Ado’s show is built around his search for love, and in particular, his romance with a princely sort of a guy called Felix. He charts their journey from the time they meet, exchanging glances and then phone numbers, when Felix walks across a beautiful park on a sunny day as drama teacher Ado is teaching his enthusiastic, mischievous young students to the relationship’s eventual demise.

My main enjoyment with Cappelletta’s show was found in  his quick and clever switching and alternating between the two characters, the very polite, laid-back and measured Felix and his much more temperamental and moody persona.

Adriano Cappelletta’s ADO SAVES THE GAY WORLD played the Bondi Pavilion Theatre as part of the Horse’s Mouth Festival for one show only on Tuesday December 10.
