"A
Pure Passion Play"
- The Independent (London)Praise
for ROMAN NIGHTS keeps coming in!
 
"Surely
Anna Magnani and Tennessee Williams would have approved of Franco D'Alessandro's
bio-play, oozing la Dolce Vita and the Great White Way in a loving no holds barred
recreation of key moments the actress and writer spent in each other's company."
"D'Alessandro alternates between fly on the wall biography and going for a story...
showing themes of faded glory eternally present in Williams' work" "Franca
Barchiesi as Anna Magnani: A performance like this comes around once in a decade
- if you're lucky!" "Nolan
Hemmings finds his groove as Williams…by wisely avoiding any overplay of the playwright's
the alcoholism and homosexuality he discovers an unexpected dignity."
"ROMAN NIGHTS is a convincing heartfelt romp of a tale with a bittersweet ending
that lingers long after."
- Nick Awde - THE STAGE
- The U.K.'s Number One Theatre Source "ROMAN
NIGHTS is filled with big emotions ... seductive ... with witty and intelligent
writing by D'Alessandro."
- Time Out London "ROMAN
NIGHTS is an enthralling look at the tempestuous and intimate relationship between
two great artists"… "Anna Magnani and Tennessee Williams are powerfully evoked
though D'Alessandro's dialogue…" - TheatreWorld "Feels
like eavesdropping!" ROMAN NIGHTS succeeds in -as Tennessee Williams said- setting
the snare to set the truth of human existence!" - Camden
Journal "A
Must!" "Four Stars!" "Virtuoso performances by Barchiesi as Magnani and Hemmings
as Williams" - Ham & High "Mesmerizing
... with tour de force performances in demanding roles..." - The City Neighbour
"Engaging theater."
- Timothy Ramsden
