Summary:	Timberlake Wertenbaker's translation of De Filippo's comedy was first performed at the Piccadilly Theatre, London, in 1998. In late 1940s Naples, Filumena Maraturano lies on her deathbed awaiting marriage to the man who has kept her as his mistress for 27 years. But no sooner has the priest completed the ceremony than Filumena makes a miraculous recovery. As he reels in shock, Domenico discovers that this iron-willed woman has a few more surprises for him. Exploring themes of family, age and love, 'Filumena' exemplifies De Filippo's trademark moral optimism and warmth, coupled with unflinchingly astute and humorous observation of his characters.
