Description

Plays by one of Italy's greatest dramatists Eduardo de Filippo was one of Italy's leading popular dramatists, a fearless social critic, a supreme man of the theatre, and a humane and compassionate writer. The four plays in this volume present different facets of his prolific output, which focused on the lives of the Neapolitan people, their dubious cunning nourished by centuries of hunger, their fantasies and their love of life. The Local Authority, Grand Magic and Filumena Marturano are translated by Carlo Ardito, and Napoli Milionaria was translated by Peter Tinniswood for the Royal National Theatre's production in 1991.

Author Biography:

Eduardo de Filippo (1900-1984) was a Neapolitan actor, playwright, screenwriter, author and poet. His best known works include Napoli Milionaria, Filumena and Sabato, domenica e lunedì (Saturday, Sunday and Monday). He is regarded as one of Italy's greatest dramatists. Peter Tinniswood (1936-2003) was an English scriptwriter, known for his comedy writing on radio and television. His translation of Eduardo de Filippo's Napoli Milionaria is published by Methuen Drama in De Filippo: Four Plays. Peter Tinniswood was born in Liverpool in December 1936. After leaving Manchester University he travelled and worked in Europe for a while until joining the Star in Sheffield in 1958. In the early sixties he wrote radio and TV satire until abandoning his full-time writing career. He wrote his first novel 'A Touch of Daniel' which was published in 1969. He has since written numerous novels, stage, television and radio plays.
