A summer 2021 hit, this adaptation of Ian McEwan 's moving and brilliant novel . The protagonist is a fetus curled up in the womb, listening to voices and everything happening outside. Mother Trudy and her cynical Uncle Claude have a falling out and want to kill her father, a penniless poet. "Bonadei acts with body and voice, uses the microphone expressively, and is petulant and tender, like someone who already knows abandonment."

In the shell

Teatro Elfo Puccini

Queen Elizabeth I of England wears a wig, bodice, and ruff. But don't be fooled: the show has nothing of the dusty historical costume drama. Elizabeth argues for her choices—especially not to marry and have children—with the poise and awareness of a woman of today. In a deeply patriarchal society, the queen who gave her name to an era ascends to the throne and maintains power for forty-four years with cunning and intelligence.
