Uno degli onesti: Commedia in un atto

In a single, tightly wound act the play drops listeners into an elegant salon where a marriage unravels with equal parts fury and wit. Federico and his wife Manina trade sharp barbs about separation, property, and the absurdities of legal codes that claim to bind them together. Their verbal sparring reveals a deeper clash of expectations, as each clings to a notion of “right” while the other demands freedom.

The dialogue crackles with rapid, almost theatrical banter, turning everyday frustrations into a biting comedy about gender roles and societal obligations. Supporting voices—Alberto, Rosetta, and the ever‑present housekeeper Teresa—loom just off‑stage, promising further entanglements. Listeners will be drawn into the frantic rhythm of the couple’s argument, feeling both the humor and the poignant longing for a life beyond the constraints of tradition.
