Why is this play significant?
A rare example of an Italian play being produced by the Scarborough company and notable for intimately involved one of the town's most famed Italian residents, Giorgio Lanterna whose acclaimed restaurant provided the meal for the centre-piece scene of the play, a family dinner. The actors were well fed on excellent ragu for the course of the run!Notes
○ This was a presentation of an adaptation of Eduardo di Filippo's play by Keith Waterhouse & Willis Hall.
○ One of the central scenes of the play is set around a family dinner for which a considerable amount of real food had to be both prepared and eaten; much of the scene is in silence as the characters eat their main course. The pasta dish was provided by the award-winning Scarborough restaurant Lanterna Ristorante, which - due to the lack of kitchen space at the theatre - apparently delivered a vat of the dish prior to every performance.
