In 1938 Rome, under Mussolini and Hitler’s shadow, a lonely housewife and a gay radio host fired for his sexuality meet by chance, sharing confessions that transform their lives forever.
Italian Classic Hits Rio Stage
After sold-out runs in São Paulo, A Very Special Day lands in Rio. Starring Reynaldo Gianecchini and Maria Casadevall, directed by Alexandre Reinecke, it adapts Ettore Scola’s film with Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni.
Set on May 6, 1938, amid the Mussolini-Hitler pact parade, Antonietta tends her home and six kids. Her pet bird flies to neighbor Gabriele’s window—he’s jobless after being fired from the radio for being gay.
An extraordinary friendship and platonic love spark through talks of dreams, frustrations, and desires.
This marks Brazil’s second stage version. Glória Menezes and Tarcísio Meira starred in José Possi Neto’s 1986 production. The play explores acceptance, love, transformation, prejudices, and women’s roles in society.
