Napoli Milionaria!

Eduardo De Filippo’s classic Napoli Milionaria! (Naples Millionaires!) is as robustly Italian as OSF’s 2002 hit Saturday, Sunday, Monday by the same playwright. In the chaotic days of World War II, Amalia Jovine sets up a small-time black market business to keep her family afloat. She prospers — maybe a bit too much. Her husband, Gennaro, is compelled to ask hard questions about morality, civility and the state of their society. With a masterful blend of humor and pathos, this ultimately redemptive story comes alive for American audiences in a beautiful new translation.
