Theatre Today

La fu Berta Grey

Perugia (PG)

At the Teatro Franco Bicini in Perugia, 'La fu Berta Grey' is staged, a satirical comedy in two acts by Franco Bicini, performed by the Compagnia del Canguasto. It is a work with a grotesque and bitter tone, which with irony digs into the selfishness and pettiness of the Perugia province. The plot revolves around the death of an elderly foreign lady, Berta Grey, a guest of a local family. It is the intervention of a notary, a friend of the deceased, that triggers a series of revelations and twists that expose the hidden dynamics among the characters.
