Teatro Argentina's THE GOLD OF NAPLES Set to Open May 4

The gold of Naples on stage May 4th - 16th 2010

Based on a work by Giuseppe Marotta

Adapted by Armando Pugliese and Gianfelice Imparato
Directed by Armando Pugliese
Original music by Nicola Piovani
Set design by Andrea Taddei
Costume design by Silvia Polidori

Production La Pirandelliana in co-production with Diana o.r.i.s.

Armando Pugliese and Gianfelice Imparato start from the "theatricality" of Marotta, from that myriad of characters and situations that, like in the "Mappata" by Salvatore di Giacomo where the poor are all wrapped in one sheet, for a version of The Gold of Naples in which stories, painful and comical, tragic and paradoxical are found in one of those buildings which abound in the historical centre of Naples.

Therefore, this version will not be an imitation of De Sica's film, but a completely new take of his stories, of which some are present in the film, and others are completely unedited as far as performances are concerned and taken directly from Marotta's writings.
