A new unmissable event at the Teatro Totò, where from 4 to 13 April the sparkling comedy “Grossi affari in famiglia” will be performed, co-written by Rosario Verde and Marco Lanzuise. It promises to be two hours of hilarious situations and plot twists, thanks to a close-knit cast and careful and dynamic direction by Gaetano Liguori.
An exceptional cast
The protagonists of the evening will be Davide Ferri and Rosario Verde, supported by Edoardo Guadagno and a group of talented actors including Natalia Cretella. This ensemble of performers promises to enhance the irony and sagacity inherent in a text that highlights human ambiguities and weaknesses through the lens of comedy. **"A poor relative is always a distant relative,"** said Adolphe d'Houdetot, and it is precisely on this bitter truth that the heart of the show is based.
A gripping plot
The story revolves around a rich uncle who, after discovering a son he was unaware of, becomes the focus of an unusual display of affection from his greedy relatives. Through misunderstandings, deceptions and situations bordering on the absurd, the comedy reveals the baseness and opportunism that often hide behind family ties.
Reflections on humanity
With its light but pungent style, “Grossi affari in famiglia” fits fully into the tradition of Neapolitan brilliant theater, alternating moments of pure comedy with deeper reflections on human nature. This performance, in addition to giving smiles, invites the audience to question the values that govern interpersonal relationships. The Teatro Totò confirms itself as a stage of excellence for comic theater, offering spectators an experience that mixes tradition and innovation, laughter and food for thought. “Grossi affari in famiglia” announces itself as an event not to be missed for lovers of good theater, capable of entertaining and making you think with intelligence and verve.
