''Dinner Party'' is the only play written by the Italian author and novelist, Pier Vittorio Tondelli, originally in 1985 for the ''Riccione-Ater Theatre Prize'' and published by Bompiani in 1994〔(Centro di Documentazione Pier Vittorio Tondelli - Correggio - Pier Vittorio Tondelli - Dinner Party )〕 after Tondelli's death. The play features a series of conversations between the cast of characters, who assemble for an apparent innocent evening dinner on July 11, 1982. This date is significant in that it was the day that Italy won the World Championship (FIFA World Cup) in Spain (Italy beat West Germany, 3-1). However, events take an odd turn, and this innocent dinner becomes a comical, unusual drama. As the soccer match takes place, another 'game' takes place on the stage between the various characters at the Oldofredi house, which Tondelli describes as "a cruel yet entertaining game of coups de théâtre, betrayals, revelations and ambiguity."〔 ==Cast of Characters== *Goffredo Oldofredi (referred to as Fredo throughout the play), a lawyer *Giulia Oldofredi, wife of Fredo *Manfredi Oldofredi, (referred to as Didi throughout the play), Fredo's younger brother; a writer *Alberto Grandi, Fredo's best friend and also a friend of Didi's; an artist *Mavie di Monterassi, an editor and friend of the family *Tommy Trengrove, friend of the family and best friend to Fredo and Didi's deceased parents *Annie, an actress/transvestite hired by Fredo to impersonate Alberto's girlfriend *Jiga, Filipino maid who works for the Oldofredi 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dinner Party (play)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
