Part of the St. James Studio Play Week
It’s a cold rainy winter in industrial Bergamo, and a young woman is visiting her family after a long time. But their apparently mundane conversation hides a dark secret…
Who killed her fiancée, a Moroccan immigrant illegally employed by her father?
And why is her father now speaking to ghosts?
Italian playwright Sergio Pierattini mixes social commentary, darkly humorous dialogue, and a creeping sense of claustrophobia to tell us a story about the fear of the “different”, the disintegration of the traditional family and the collapse of old ideals.
Winner of the 2008 Italian Critics’ Award for best new play.
Produced for the first time in English by LegalAliens, and performed by a cast of bilingual Italian actors.
Directed by Becka McFadden.
Translation by Matthew Morrison, Sabrina Cammarata and the cast.
