GOMORRAH the play

Gomorrah, set in the suburbs of Naples, Italy, tells the story of a local journalist, Roberto Saviano, as he investigates the world of the Neapolitan Mafia, known as The Camorra.  Founded as a means of survival, The Camorra, manipulates the ideals of honor and manhood and devolves into a cancer that threatens to kill not only the victims, but also the host.  Saviano links five disparate lives of educated young men and teenage gang members embroiled in this criminal system that extends from the slums of Naples to the fashion houses of Milan and beyond.  The play demonstrates how the criminal element in a small suburb has tragic and deadly repercussions to a city, a country, and ultimately, the world.

Gomorra, the book,was published in 2006. In January 2009 the number of copies sold in Italy surpassed 2,000,000. The book has been translated in 42 countries. It appeared in the best sellers' lists of Germany, Holland, Spain, France, Sweden and Finland. The New York Times has placed it amongst the most important books of 2007, while The Economist has included it among the hundred books of the year. Saviano is the only Italian to be placed in both lists. Gomorrah, the movie, was released in 2008, winning several awards, such as the Gran Prize at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. In April 2008 Gomorrah, the play, opened in Napoli. Gomorrah played for three years to continuously sold-out houses in Italy.

KIT-Kairos Italy Theater was founded in 2000 and since then has presented more than ten world-premiere, has performed in the major cities in the United States and in Canada, and has collaborated with major American and International institutions and important theaters such as Film Society at Lincoln Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Rome Film Festival, The Kitchen, the Flea Theatre, Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimo' at NYU, and several Italian Cultural Institutes world-wide.
