Donne Di Fora
Elisa Wynne for Vittoria Spataro
A megolamanic dreamer with a sharp tongue, Vittoria knows her plays have the power to shape reality itself. Bold, restless, and often defiant of authority. As the audio drama goes on, however, her power drains her, leaving her coughing and hoarse.
Vittoria is 16 in the script, and should have a bright, higher register voice, but a dry sarcasm to her as well. As the story goes on, her voice weakens. It starts with her clearing her raspy throat, and ends with her hoarse and coughing relentlessly.
Direction on sides:
- Early in the play. Her voice is clear and youthful. Her tone is dry and sarcastic.
- In broken English, Vittoria threatens a producer at Park Theatre with her power. She’s starting to clear her throat at this point in the story.
- This is part of her last line in the story. Her voice should be hoarse and worn with relentless coughing. She should sound on the verge of death.

The magic I wield is in my pen. I tell my own stories. Not ones passed down to me from a dusty old book from dusty old men.
First act of new play. Familiar character. He look and sound and act like you. He lose job. He lose wife. He lose kids. He lose... everything. Second act, not written. Maybe he hires a laundress and wins job back, wife back, everything. And more.He could be richest man on planet.
Thank you! Thank you! Please, have a seat. Please, sit. Sit. I’m proud to announce that this play, Donne Di Fora, is headed to a global stage!
