by Eduardo De Filippo
Performed in Italian and Neapolitan by students of the University of Edinburgh
Eduardo De Filippo is among Italy’s mostprolific and distinguished contemporary playwrights of the 20th Century.
Strongly influenced by the social milieu of his native Naples, his plays continue
to be highly regarded and performed internationally more than thirty years
after his death in 1984. Le voci di dentro is set in Naples, in the aftermath
of WW2. In a typical Neapolitan tenement, middle-aged Alberto Saporito accuses
his good neighbours, the Cimarrutas family, of murdering his friend Aniello.
Crisscrossing between black comedy and drama, De Filippo’s story of people
embittered by the war still resonates, today more than ever, with our
contemporary world of suspicion, social mistrust, and ultimately the
inescapable frailty of human nature. Performed in Italian and Neapolitan by
students of the University of Edinburgh. Organized by Luana Babini & Mara
Mari Kirkwood (University of Edinburgh). In collaboration with the Italian
