Summary "Cappidazzu Paga Tutti" by Nino Martoglio and Luigi Pirandello is a three-act comedy written in the early 20th century. This work unfolds through a series of lively interactions among a colorful cast of characters, primarily revolving around Don Nzulu Ventura and his family, touching on themes of love, marriage, and social dynamics within a Sicilian context. The story promises a mix of humor, cultural commentary, and rich character portrayals that invite readers to delve into the Sicilian dialect theatre. At the start of the play, the scene is set in Don Nzulu's modestly furnished living room, where he is disturbed from his slumber by his servant, Brasi, and two women, Donna Pràzzita and Rachilina. Their conversation hints at a tension around family matters and the subject of marriage, with Don Nzulu sheepishly acknowledging that he is contemplating finding a wife. Various exchanges reveal the characters' personalities and their opinions on suitable matches for Nzulu, which directly leads to a comedic buildup of misunderstandings and romantic entanglements, setting the stage for the unfolding drama and humor in the subsequent acts. The opening establishes a vibrant sense of Sicilian life, full of familial bonds and social expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
