Filumena

FELICITY KENDAL AND MATTHEW KELLY LEAD AN ALL-STAR CAST

Amidst the heat of a Neapolitan summer, Filumena (Felicity Kendal) lies on her deathbed, waiting to marry Domenico (Matthew Kelly), the man who has kept her as his mistress for 35 years.

But no sooner than they are married, she makes a miraculous recovery, much to the surprise of her new, unwilling husband and his younger lover!

Filumena holds on to a secret from her past life, revealing one of her three grown-up sons is Domenico’s. But which one? Will he accept all three?

Eduardo De Filippo’s classic Italian comedy sparkles with optimism, affection, acerbic wit and a fierce determination for family, no matter what it takes.  

Felicity Kendal and Matthew Kelly lead an exceptional cast including Julie Legrand (Footballers’ Wives, Wicked), George Banks (Coronation Street, The Mousetrap), Gavin Fowler (RSC, Penny Dreadful), Jamie Hogarth (Slow Horses, Bad Education), Ben Nealon (Soldier, Soldier, Twelve Angry Men), Lee Peck (Sleuth, Looking Good Dead), Fabrizio Santino (Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger, Hollyoaks), Jodie Steele (Mallory Towers, Heathers the Musical), Hilary Tones (RSC), Sarah Twomey (Accolade) and Eliza Le Touzel Teale.  

This season will be directed by Sean Mathias alongside Accolade (31 May – 15 June).

Previous acclaimed productions at Theatre Royal Windsor directed by Sean Mathias include: Frank and Percy; Hamlet; The Cherry Orchard; Alone Together.
