Emergency Exit: A Play in Two Acts

Drama. Translated from the Italian by Anthony Molino and Jane House. Two eccentric squatters in an abandoned house wage psychological war with one another; the house is in Naples, in a desolate earthquake zone, and teetering on collapse. Reminiscent of Waiting for Godot, The Caretaker and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe?, EMERGENCY EXIT lingers between hope and despair, nostalgia and cynicism, enjoyment of life and anticipation of a bad end.

"Santanelli's work is some of the finest I've seen in years. It is, indeed, extraordinary, intended for audiences who hunger for the rare and the beautiful."—Eugene Ionesco
