Triple Date
Jon Potter
Saturday, Sunday, Monday
by Eduardo De Filippo, Keith Waterhouse, Willis Hall
Synopsis
This highly praised version is a sparkling contemporary commedia dell'arte about a feuding Neapolitan family.
Peppino suspects his wife Rosa of infidelity and she is brooding because he spurned her cooking and praised a meal prepared by his daughter in law.
The character rich cast also includes a crusty grandfather, a formidable widowed aunt on the make for the family doctor, her mama's boy son and a "liberated" daughter in law.
During the traditional Sunday dinner Peppino's and Rosa's tempers flare amidst a gathering of family and friends.
Add to their feud generation conflicts, a lover's quarrel, humorous insights on momism and bourgeois Italian life and the meal is unforgettable.
Of course, all is forgiven by Monday.
