The Sheep of Anzi

Overview

In this very funny monologue, Anna Palestrina, an Italian immigrant woman living in Ohio, explains to her grandson Ben what happened in her remote mountain village in Southern Italy when a government official obsessed with sheep offered to pay villagers to raise them in their very steep mountain terrain. Sad for the sheep, but a great and increasingly hilarious story. A wonderful showcase for a mature actress with a dry sense of humor. See also Nigro's plays Palestrina and Maddalena.
