Virginia Rep announces the opening of the Italian Classic, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, by Eduardo de Filippo on Friday, February 12. Set in Naples in 1959, Saturday, Sunday, Monday reflects three days in the lives of a postwar Italian family. Marital misunderstandings, a lover's quarrel, and generational conflict escalate as passions flare during the traditional Sunday dinner with family and friends. This humorous and fresh translation by
Linda Alper and Beatrice Basso will appeal to all the senses as the traditional ragù simmers on stage.
Eduardo de Filippo is considered one of the great Italian playwrights and is best known for his Neapolitan works. His 1973 London production of Saturday, Sunday, Monday starring
Laurence Olivier won the London Drama Critics Award. In 1981 he was made a life senator of the Italian Republic.
