Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
A comedy by Joe Orton, the English playwright who scandalized twentieth-century theater. The story unfolds in a clinic, a symbol of an entire society, where disguises and misunderstandings multiply in a vaudeville-style scheme of frantic entrances and exits. Brilliantly provocative dialogues and a narratively masterful structure showcase characters caught in increasingly complicated situations, culminating in the final revelation of distant family secrets. A timeless fable, rich in irony and dark humor, that tackles hypocrisy with the power of theatrical action. Starring Giampiero Ingrassia, Paolo Triestino, and Claudia Campagnola.
Original text in Italian
Una commedia di Joe Orton, il drammaturgo inglese che ha scandalizzato il teatro del Novecento. La storia si svolge in una clinica, simbolo di un'intera società, dove travestimenti e equivoci si moltiplicano in uno schema da vaudeville fatto di entrate e uscite concitate. Dialoghi brillantemente provocatori e uno schema narrativo di sapienza compositiva mettono in scena personaggi colti in situazioni sempre più complicate, fino alla rivelazione finale di remoti segreti familiari. Una favola senza tempo, ricca di ironia e humor nero, che affronta l'ipocrisia con la forza dell'azione teatrale. In scena Giampiero Ingrassia, Paolo Triestino e Claudia Campagnola.
