Theater Neapolitan Style
Theater Neapolitan Style: Five One-act Plays | Eduardo De Filippo
1 post
"We witness the playwright's uncanny ability to mix comic and tragic elements simultaneously as romantic courtship prevails despite poverty and infirmity in Philosophically Speaking: a tired marriage and the temptation of youthful flirtation oppose each other in Gennareniello: a government clerk happens upon the demolition of his childhood home in So Long, Fifth Floor; an old actor fantasizes about performing a major role once again in The Part of Hamlet: and a tired salesman learns that his room has been used for the laying out of his deceased landlord in Dead People Aren't Scary."--BOOK JACKET.

I watched La grande magie, a film adapted from Italian author Eduardo De Filippo's play The Great Magic & so wanted to read it to deepen my understanding. I enjoyed both, but I think I like what Noémie Lvovsky made of the play better than the original 😱 It's less farcical & more dreamlike.

My copy (not in the database) also contained the 1-act play Sik-Sik.
