Tato Russo returns to the theater re-proposing his masterpiece, the Menecmi, a comedy full of misunderstandings that will unleash the comedy of the public

The great actor and theater director Tato Russo returns to entertain audiences with one of his most successful comedies, Menaechmi , inspired by the original text by Plautus. The opera will be staged at the Teatro Delle Palme from March 11 to 15, 2015.

A pièce that the artist has been carrying around in the theaters of Italy for over twenty-five years but which, despite the fatigue due to age makes itself felt, continues to re-propose successfully.

Tato Russo begins with Plautine comedy (Menechmus) and rewrites the story in an original way, leaving some of its distinctive features intact. Thus, we find the narrative's plebeianism and its entirely popular character, which Russo takes up while expanding upon.

The story is set in ancient Naples, and the twins are played by a single actor, Tato Russo himself, who masterfully juggles the personalities of the two main brothers, one vulgar and the other cultured and intellectual. The two find themselves experiencing a strange story, an adventure full of misunderstandings , errors, and misinterpretations that will elicit laughter from the audience, giving rise to a comedy that is both sophisticated and surreal.

Among maids, servants, masters, ladies' men , and many other characters from the Neapolitan plebs, the audience will be catapulted into a world filled with a diverse cast of characters, and where the pace will be relentless until the very end. This is further confirmation of Tato Russo's excellent acting skills, as he, as always, moves across the stage with charisma and magnetism.
