Written, directed, and performed by Frank Lotito, The Italian Divorce is winning over audiences with its perfect mix of comedy, heart, and family drama.Lotito’s script captures the quirks of Italian family life while speaking to universal themes of love, loyalty, and generational tension. At the centre is the formidable matriarch Lucia, played by Rosanna Morales, whose wit and sharp tongue had audiences in stitches. Lotito himself shines as Bruno, joined by a stellar cast including Davide Mollica, Louisa Mignone, Jeanette Coppolino, and Steve Mouzakis, whose neighbour Dimitri adds a touch of ouzo-fuelled wisdom to the chaos.
The ensemble’s chemistry is electric, moving seamlessly from belly laughs to moments of heartfelt reflection. While rooted in Italian-Australian culture, the play’s themes of family conflict, tradition, and unbreakable bonds resonate with everyone.
On opening night, the thunderous applause confirmed it: The Italian Divorce is a rare comedy that entertains while holding up a mirror to life itself.
