SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY BY EDUARDO DE FILIPPO – 29 JUNE
29th June 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Location to be confirmed
The play is set in an apartment in Naples and is a warm-hearted observation of Mediterranean family life.
A monumental row begins to brew on Saturday night, whilst the traditional Sunday ragu is being prepared in the kitchen. The row breaks on Sunday, the traditional day for family quarrels, and is finally and touchingly resolved on Monday. A suggestion of Italian accents would be nice.
12 Men and 6 Women. Or possibly 10 Men and 8 Women.
