Theatre for a New Audience, April 2-May 8, 2005, Duke Theatre

Souls of Naples April 2 – May 8, 2005

The sensational John Turturro stars as Pasquale Lojacono, in the American Premiere of a new translation of Souls of Naples, a modern, 1940’s classic by Eduardo De Filippo. The play is a bitter sweet comedy about marriage and De Filippo’s deep look into the souls of people in post World War II Naples. It features elements of puppetry, mask, and the absurd, all part of the bold vision of director Roman Paska.  Michael Feingold translates Souls of Naples from the Italian original Questi Fantasmi!
