| Summary |
"Non fare ad altri..." by Roberto Bracco is a comedic play in one act that was first performed in the late 19th century, specifically in 1886. The work is part of a larger collection of Bracco's theatrical pieces, blending farce and elements of humor centered around a police commissioner's humorous encounters with a gentleman thief. The play likely explores themes of mistaken identity and the absurdity of social roles through its witty dialogue and entertaining situations. The storyline revolves around a police commissioner and his interactions with various characters, including the bumbling officers and a thief named Oscar Gentiletti, who becomes embroiled in an unexpected scandal involving the commissioner's wife. As the narrative unfolds, the commissioner finds himself in a precarious situation where his dignity as a lawman clashes with his personal life after discovering that the thief possesses a portrait of his wife, revealing a deeper betrayal. Filled with misunderstandings and comical exchanges, the play exposes the follies of its characters while cleverly critiquing societal norms and the nature of love and fidelity.
