At the Bracco Theatre, Scarpetta's farce with Attanasio and Pinto is revived in the Seventies

Naples once again welcomes the comic genius of Eduardo Scarpetta with "Three Vicious Sheep," running at the Teatro Bracco from February 5th to 8th. Directed and adapted by Salvatore Pinto, this version, revisited in the 1970s, retains the original structure but infuses it with the colors, gestures, and irony of a more modern era.

Enzo Attanasio plays Fortunato, while Pinto takes on the role of Felice Sciosciammocca, a pivotal figure in Scarpetta's tradition reworked with forays into the surreal. Ivano Schiavi, in drag, plays the fearsome Beatrice, wife, sister, and aunt of the three seducers, while Stefano Sannino plays Camillo. Through misunderstandings, disguises, and dramatic twists, the farce depicts the three men's amorous misadventures, revealing a scathing satire of the Neapolitan lower middle class.

The production, with sets by Tonino Di Ronza and costumes by Annalisa Ciaramella, entrusts laughter with the task of renewing tradition and transforming theater into an exercise in living memory. A cast of fifteen performers takes the audience on a journey through grotesque comedy, irony, and disenchantment, paying homage to classical Neapolitan theater with a contemporary perspective.
