Filumena is Eduardo de Filippo’s classic comedy, in an English version by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall.
Amidst the heat of a Neapolitan summer, Filumena (Felicity Kendal) lies on her deathbed, waiting to marry Domenico (Matthew Kelly), the man who has kept her as his mistress for 25 years. But no sooner than they are married, she makes a miraculous recovery, much to the surprise of her new, unwilling husband and his younger lover!
Filumena holds on to a secret from her past life, revealing one of her three grown-up sons is Domenico’s. But which one? Will he accept all three?
Filumena is produced by Bill Kenwright Ltd and the Theatre Royal Windsor. Further creatives joining Sean Matthias are to be announced.
