SYNOPSIS ENGLISH

The Wasp by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, Olivier Award-winning British playwright, arrives in Italy for the first time, in its original language. After more than ten years, two former school friends meet over coffee. What seems to be a simple reunion soon turns into a shocking proposition: a pact to settle the score with a trauma that has never truly been overcome. Through psychological tension and a desire for revenge, the play explores the fragility of memory, the weight of past wounds, and the blurred boundary between justice and vengeance.

ITALIANO

The Wasp di Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, drammaturga inglese vincitrice del Premio Olivier, arriva per la prima volta in Italia in lingua originale. Dopo oltre dieci anni, due ex compagne di scuola si ritrovano davanti a un caffè: quello che sembra un semplice incontro si trasforma in una proposta sconvolgente, un patto per chiudere i conti con un trauma mai superato. Tra tensione psicologica e desiderio di rivalsa, lo spettacolo indaga la fragilità della memoria, il peso delle ferite del passato e il difficile confine tra giustizia e vendetta.
