APARTMENT 2B - ReadingWritten by Andrea Cioffi, Translated by Caterina NonisDirected by Tess HowsamIn English2022 MARIO FRATTI AWARD WINNERIn Apartment 2B lives Aimo, a thirty-year-old like many others: precarious work, rented apartment, unpaid bills and a disturbing vision with human features but monstrous proportions, that keep appearing around him, pills in hand, suggesting the way to go: suicide. His only contact with the outside is a shower of voice messages haunting him with deadlines and responsibilities. Nothing seems to distract him from his languishing, until the apartment door opens, letting new people, afflicted by his own mania, enter the studio and his life. Will our modern Hamlet be able to face his ghosts?Andrea Cioffi was born in Naples in 1990. Graduated from the Acting School of the Teatro Stabile in Genoa, he has worked with several directors, including Fillippo Dini, Roberto Andò, Marco Tullio Giordana, Luca De Filippo and Carlo Sciaccaluga. He studied directing and dramaturgy with Valerio Binasco, Fausto Paravidino, Eimuntas Nekrosius and at the Paolo Grassi Civic School. With his own theater company Cercamondo, as a playwright, he won the Nuove Sensibilité 2.0 award, the Fersen Prize for Dramaturgy, the Portraits on Stage call and is semi-finalist at the Scenario 2021 Award.Named for the legendary Broadway playwright, the Mario Fratti Award has been awarded every year since 2014 to a never produced before Italian play chosen by a different jury every year, among the many plays collected through a submission process. The winner receives a translation of their work into English, a reading of such translation, the publication under the MFA theater collection and a Kairos Italy Theater production on a later date.
