Eduardo De Filippo’s classic comedy! Amidst the heat of a Neapolitan spring, Filumena Marturano lies on her deathbed, waiting to marry the man who has kept her as his mistress for twenty-five years. No sooner than they are married, she makes a miraculous recovery, much to the surprise of her new, unwilling husband and his younger lover!
A wonderfully wise play
Is she a simple woman who simply wants the best for her family, or a fiercely intelligent opportunist determined to claim what is hers?
In a battle of wills between all involved, Filumena mixes charm and optimism with acerbic wit and a moral examination of how where we come from defines who we become.
Further star casting to be announced.
