Il testo di Celeste, come si diceva, e' interno a una convenzione drammaturgica ma e' ben congegnato, efficace e riesce a carpire l'emozione anche di spettatori smaliziati. Alla prima di Asti il successo e' stato franco, senza contrasti anche sugli aspetti piu' crudi delllo spettacolo." </B></div> <div> <B>Ugo Volli, LA REPUBBLICA</B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="3d640860.jpg" border=0 width="320" height="134" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>(Clockwise: Thywill Kwaku Amenya, Franco Castellano, </B></div> <div> <B>Bruno Armando in HANGING THE PRESIDENT, </B></div> <div> <B>Asti Teatro Festival 1990.
