Trilogia Della Villeggiatura July 23, 2009

Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni's 1761 three-part satire of the Italian middle class was given new life more than 50 years ago by Piccolo Teatro di Milano's late founder, Giorgio Strehler. Italian actor and director Toni Servillo stars in and directs his own company, Teatri Uniti di Napoli, in a co-production with the famed Piccolo Teatro di Milano in this fresh and charming version of a seminal work. This remarkably timely piece of comic theater reminds us that the masks we wear to escape from ourselves hide nothing and only serve to draw attention to the complicated realities of our everyday lives. It will be performed Italian with English supertitles.
