"Filumena" by Eduardo di Filippo: Read Through and Auditions

"Filumena" is a raucous Italian comedy set in Naples, adapted by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall.

This will be our next production, to be staged from the 8th to the 11th of December at the theatre, Battersea Park School, Battersea Park Road, SW11.

The theatre entrance is on Dagnall Street. For directions to Battersea Park School theatre, click here.

Who is Filumena? A very strong character who after 25 years as his downtrodden mistress and housekeeper turns the table on her unreliable lover Domenico, a rich businessman with his eye on Diana, half his age. Filumena, apparently seriously ill, begs Domenico to marry her before she dies. Domenico agrees, but once they are pronounced man and wife she suddenly recovers – and reveals that, unknown to him, she has three grown-up sons. Is one of them his?

There are 11 parts, 6 for men (three 40-60 and three 20-30) and 5 for women (three 40-60, two 20-30).

The read-through will be held on Wednesday 1st September 2010 at 8p.m.
Auditions on Wednesday 8th September at 8pm, both at :

St Michael’s Church Hall, Cobham Close, off Bolingbroke Road, 
SW11 6SP
