The Lisbon Players

COMING SOON

SATURDAY
SUNDAY
MONDAY

by Edwardo de Filippo

At first sight a typical slice of Italian family life with characteristic displays of Mediterranean temper, the play concerns the essence of any relationship between a man and a woman after years of married life. A monumental family row begins to brew on Saturday night while the Sunday ragu is being prepared in the kitchen. The row breaks out on Sunday, the traditional day for family quarrels, and is finally and touchingly resolved on Monday.

ROPE

by Partick Hamilton

The setting is an apartment in Mayfair, London, in the 1920s.

The story, based loosely on the Leopold and Loeb murder case, is about two students, Wyndham Brandon and Charles Granillo, who murder fellow student Ronald Kentley as an expression of their supposed intellectual superiority. The two place the body in a wooden chest and, to add spice to their handiwork, invite a few acquaintances, including the dead man’s father, round to a party, the chest with its gruesome contents serving as a supper table.
