Description

A lively comedy unfolds in an elegant Roman salon on the day of Palma’s wedding, where social niceties and family expectations collide. The industrious Barbetti, a flamboyant mother from the provinces, arrives with her reluctant son Carlo, intent on making a grand impression while navigating the bewildering household of the Lori family. Their banter—filled with sharp retorts, misunderstandings, and a hint of hidden tensions—sets the tone for a satirical portrait of aristocratic pretensions and the day‑to‑day absurdities of high society.

Through quick‑witted dialogue and a cast of diplomats, senators, and scheming relatives, the first act sketches a bustling, flower‑laden scene that feels both intimate and theatrical. Listeners will be drawn into the play’s rhythmic exchanges, catching glimpses of rivalries, secret alliances, and the ever‑present clash between duty and desire—all while the story balances humor with a keen eye for the quirks of early‑20th‑century Italian life.

About the author

Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello

1867–1936

Best known for turning theater inside out, this Nobel Prize-winning Italian writer explored identity, illusion, and the strange gap between how people see themselves and how others see them. His stories and plays still feel modern for the way they mix sharp wit with deep unease.
