L’ULTIMA BEFFA DI ADAM
by Giovanni Luca Valea

Set on Christmas Eve, the play tells the story of Adam, an elderly patriarch who receives a letter that is bound to change his life. His relatives, convinced it is his will, set off a tragicomic race for the inheritance, while the protagonist tries in vain to tell the truth. Among a priest called in for the last rites, a faithful waiter and a family consumed by greed, the situation spirals toward a surprising ending, in which Adam himself will play the last, irresistible prank.

Where it takes place: Teatro dei Contrari

Run by the association Armonia dei Contrari, the theater has the portal mediaesipario.it as media partner and on one of its event pages thanks the Culture Funds of Municipio Roma XII. The website also keeps an archive of the screenings of its film club.

Monteverde, where the hall is, owes its name to the Janiculum Hill. The name may also refer to the greenish tuff once quarried in the area. The neighborhood's western streets are named after architects, the northern ones after heroes of the Risorgimento.

The comedy is set on Christmas Eve, while the March 20, 2027 date is already on the calendar on the theater's website. A guide to the area is at Monteverde, what to see. In the fall the theater also hosts C'è un cadavere in teatro.
