NEW! THE KIT READING SERIES
|
|
Staged readings of plays written over the centuries by Italian Authors
Starting from this year, and this month, KIT
will present an annual reading series focused
on plays written over the centuries by Italian
Authors.
According to KIT’s
philosophy, some of the readings will be just
in English, some others in English followed by
its version in Italian, and some just in Italian.
The goal is to present plays
never translated into English as well as new
translations of works already present in the
States, boosting the production of
translations and adaptations of Italian plays in
the States.

Tosca e le altre due
(Tosca
and the
Women)
By Franca
Valeri
With Laura Caparrotti and Marta
Mondelli
Performed in
Italian
The classic tale of Tosca
takes on a mischievously comic tone, as a
moralistic house concierge and a worldly-
wise "actress" gossip, and exchange secrets
on the notes of Puccini's drama.
FRANCA VALERI is the first female
comic actress and satiric playwright to enjoy
steady success from the 1950s to today.
