Italy is home to one of the most vibrant contemporary playwriting scenes in Europe, yet Italian dramatists are little known to English-language readers and audiences: discover their stories and perspective in English for the very first time.Written between 2013 and 2022 by award-winning authors, the plays in this collection document a theatre culture not only preoccupied with the personal dimension of intimate and family relations, good food and designer fashion, as some stereotypical views of ‘Italianness’ would have it, but with deeply political, socially engaged matters of global resonance.Together the plays look at issues such as climate change (The Fattest Woman in the World); gender equality (Gentleman Anne); racism and citizenship (The Foreigner’s Smile); history and memory (Portrait of the Artist as a Dead Man); the world of work in neoliberal times (Bidibibodibiboo); mental health, trauma and grief (Big Fright); migration and the ‘refugee crisis’ (Antigone Power); and life beyond Earth (Carbon). Each of these themes feature as key apprehensions in the characters’ lives and stories, creating engaging and contemporary works of drama.Translated by leading practitioners and including a critical essay by the editor, The Methuen Drama Anthology of Contemporary Italian Plays acts as a perfect introduction to the world of contemporary Italian drama for both performance and study.

It’s the near future and Europe has failed. A domino effect of nationalist, isolationist policies has left the continent’s economies on the brink of collapse, and citizens of the countries who closed their borders to immigrants are forced to flee across the seas. In a claustrophobic shipping container, three unnamed travellers place their lives at the mercy of a mysterious people-smuggler. Forced to exist on the brink between civility and chaos, they pray that they will reach their destination. And yet there are natural - and human - forces at work which are far beyond their control.This darkly comic, absurdist, and political piece offers us a refracted story of European migration - asking us how well we would fare if we were forced to make a perilous journey across the sea, and what lengths we would go to in order to survive.Playwright Emanuele Aldrovandi is one of Italy’s foremost theatre-makers. His work has been performed across Europe and the United States. ★★★★ ‘Ambitious, darkly funny and absurd... an extremely memorable night’ Everything Theatre‘Emanuele Aldrovandi is on the rise, with a unique talent for off-kilter stories, situations and characters’ La Repubblica Casting: 4 actors (1 female / 3 male)Duration: 75 minutes
