Review: LA SPOSA FANTASMA al TEATRO GHIONE

È tornato a Roma al Teatro Ghione, dopo il debutto dello scorso anno, La Sposa Fantasma, un adattamento dell’antico racconto di Isaac Ben Solomon Luria, poi ripreso da Tim Burton nel suo celeberrimo film a cui questo adattamento si ispira. La trama è ben nota e ritroviamo tutti gli elementi essenziali ovviamente in una riduzione per la scena che si presenta scorrevole e ben diretta da Eric Paterniani. Destinata ad un pubblico di ogni età, durante lo svolgimento ci si diverte, ci si emoziona e seppure con alcune battute forse a tratti esageratamente enfatizzate, tutto il cast ha dato prova di schiettezza e soprattutto di divertirsi nell’interpretare questi ruoli, un presupposto non sempre così facile da raggiungere.
