Eduardo de Filipo: Four Plays

4/5 ( ratings)

Eduardo De Filippo, possibly the finest and certainly the funniest and most loved playwright in Italy, was a great Neapolitan actor who wrote dozens of plays for his own theater company. In Italy he is known simply as "Eduardo." His plays are all superb comedies, yet always based on strong human emotions. Since de Filippo usually wrote in Neapolitan dialect, British translations have tended to be farcical and over-the-top. These new translations are truer and closer in spirit to the originals. Translated by the actress Maria Tucci , Eduardo's plays are readable, actable, and enjoyable for Americans.
