Aggiungi un posto a tavola

The Teatro Brancaccio hosts the beloved musical comedy inspired by David Forrest's After Me the Deluge, which, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of its debut, is back on stage in a new, spectacular edition, with the original direction by Garinei and Giovannini, revived by Marco Simeoli.

Written by the two brilliant authors together with Jaja Fiastri and accompanied by the unforgettable music composed by Armando Trovajoli, Aggiungi un posto a tavola is set in a small mountain village where Don Silvestro, the parish priest, suddenly receives a divine phone call, entrusting him with the construction of an ark to save the place from a new Flood. Amidst a thousand obstacles and a series of exhilarating adventures, the priest manages to complete his task with the help of his fellow villagers, who, in the end, refuse to board the ark, convinced by a cardinal from Rome. Left alone with Clementina, the mayor's young daughter, Don Silvestro decides to join his parishioners in a sign of love and sharing: at that moment, the flood ends and a wonderful rainbow appears.

On stage, to the notes of splendid songs such as Aggiungi un posto a tavola and Concerto per prete e campane is an exceptional cast of 16 artists - including Giovanni Scifoni (Don Silvestro), Marco Simeoli (Mayor), Sofia Panizzi (Clementina) and Lorella Cuccarini (special guest in the role of Consolazione) - with the original choreography by Gino Landi, revived by Cristina Arrò, accompanied by Enzo Garinei's "voce di lassù" (voice from heaven), against the backdrop of Gabriele Moreschi's impressive sets from the original design by Giulio Coltellacci, also author of the designs of the refined costumes revived by Francesca Grossi.
