Italian-American Theatre
Saggi Italian-American Theatre Emelise Aleandri Artistic Director of «Frizzi & Lazzi», New York An Italian-American actor hesitates before the entrance to a shop in Little Italy at the turn of the century. It is a day in the life of a skilful, practiced ticket-vendor of the Italian-American theatre. To disguise the distress he feels at performing the onerous task that awaits him inside the shop, he assumes the mask of confidence, tinged slightly with arrogance. Summoning up a glib tongue, the actor enters the shop and before the shopkeeper knows what has happened, the actor fires away at him this familiar reprise: «Buongiorno. Come sta? La famiglia sta bene? Lei è un mecenate, lei è un benefattore del- la colonia. Io non so cosa faccia il governo italiano, dorme? Ma quando lo faremo cavaliere? Vuole un biglietto per una recita che si darà il mese en- trante: “La cieca di Sorrento?” Spettacoloso drama [sic]»1. With an unsuspecting shop owner, this spiel would almost always be suc- cessful in selling a ticket, but this one has been through this game before and when he learns that the performance is scheduled for a Thursday evening, he is quick to respond: «Oh! Guarda un po’, proprio giovedì che aspetto visite. Vi pare, con tutto il cuore!»2. But the actor is even quicker and has purpose- fully misinformed the storekeeper: «Mi sono sbagliato, è di venerdì»3. The shopkeeper, stunned, mumbles: «Oh! Venerdì... vedrò»4. Tricked, and now the reluctant buyer of a ticket, the shop owner spits back «Come siete seccanti voi altri teatristi!»5. -

Savona and Paola Zoffi Helsinki 1998 Copiescanbepurchasedfrom: AcademicBookstore CriminalJusticePress P.O.Box128 P.O.Box249 FIN-00101 Helsinki Monsey,NewYork10952 Finland USA ISBN951-53-1746-0 ISSN 1237-4741 Pagelayout:DTPageOy,Helsinki,Finland PrintedbyTammer-PainoOy,Tampere,Finland,1998 Foreword The spread of organized crime around the world has stimulated considerable national and international action. Much of this action has emerged only over the last few years. The tools to be used in responding to the challenges posed by organized crime are still being tested. One of the difficulties in designing effective countermeasures has been a lack of information on what organized crime actually is, and on what measures have proven effective elsewhere. Furthermore, international dis- cussion is often hampered by the murkiness of the definition of organized crime; while some may be speaking about drug trafficking, others are talking about trafficking in migrants, and still others about racketeering or corrup- tion. This report describes recent trends in organized crime and in national and international countermeasures around the world. In doing so, it provides the necessary basis for a rational discussion of the many manifestations of organized crime, and of what action should be undertaken. The report is based on numerous studies, official reports and news reports. Given the broad topic and the rapidly changing nature of organized crime, the report does not seek to be exhaustive. -

Il Teatro Significa Vivere Sul Serio Quello Che Gli Altri Nella Vita Recitano Male.”1
1 Introduction “Il teatro significa vivere sul serio quello che gli altri nella vita recitano male.”1 Many years ago a young boy sat with his friend, the son of a lawyer, in the Corte Minorile of Naples, watching as petty criminals about his age were being judged for their offenses. One ragged pick-pocket who had been found guilty demanded to be led away after being sentenced; instead he was left there and his loud pleas were completely disregarded. Unwilling to tolerate this final offense of being treated as though he were invisible, the juvenile delinquent, in an extreme act of rebellion, began smashing the chains around his hands against his own head until his face was a mask of blood. Horrified, the judge finally ordered everybody out of the court. That young boy sitting in court watching the gruesome scene was Eduardo De Filippo and the sense of helplessness and social injustice witnessed left an indelible mark on the impressionable mind of the future playwright. Almost sixty years later, at the Accademia dei Lincei, as he accepted the Premio Internazionale Feltrinelli, one of Italy’s highest literary accolades, De Filippo recalled how it was that this early image of the individual pitted against society was always at the basis of his work: Alla base del mio teatro c’è sempre il conflitto fra individuo e società […] tutto ha inizio, sempre, da uno stimolo emotivo: reazione a un’ingiustizia, sdegno per l’ipocrisia mia e altrui, solidarietà e simpatia umana per una persona o un gruppo di persone, ribellione contro leggi superate e anacronistiche con il mondo di oggi, sgomento di fronte a fatti che, come le guerre, sconvolgono la vita dei popoli.2 The purpose of this thesis is twofold: to provide for the first time a translation of Eduardo’s last play, Gli esami non finiscono mai (Exams Never End), and to trace the development of his dramatic style and philosophy in order to appreciate their culmination 1 Enzo Biagi, “Eduardo, tragico anche se ride,” Corriere della Sera , 6 March 1977. -
