Italy Uncovered: new plays from Italy

Italy Uncovered – new plays from Italy brings a new generation of Italian playwrights to the UK, with rehearsed readings of 5 very different, surprising new plays.
Italian playwriting has undergone a renaissance in recent years, with a host of writers exploring contemporary Italian society with captivating stories as well as formal and stylistic innovation.
Join us for two revelatory evenings, as Italy Uncovered shows you a different side to this marvellous, contradictory and turbulent country…

The Plays:
Lost by Greta Cappelletti – This off-the-wall, multi-generational epic is a madcap reimagining of the eternal conflict between generations, as children born in the booming 80s and 90s realise that adulthood has heralded an era of ongoing personal and global crises.

10 mg by Maria Teresa Berardelli – A sharp, disarmingly astute comment on the world of pharmaceuticals and wellbeing. With its rhythmic, paired down dialogue, 10 mg explores an apparently stable family as a metaphor for dependence.

For Your Own Good by Pier Lorenzo Pisano – Darkly comic and absurd For Your Own Good – where characters come to be represented only by functions, including a grandmother as a talking cash machine – charts the transition from adolescence to adulthood through the illness of a parent.

In The Woods by Carlotta Corradi – In contemporary Rome, two teenage girls embark on a transgressive journey exploring the power of their own sexuality. As school life overlaps with piano bars and post-modern dandies, they must decide how far they’re willing to go.

Variations on Kraepelin’s Model by Davide Carnevali – Experimenting with time and structure, these Variations… offer a constantly surprising series of transitions from childhood to manhood and back again, reflecting the loss of linearity and logic in the protagonist, who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease.
