Summertime (1955)

SCENES from the comedy by Ugo Betti, author of ” The Queen and the Rebels,” which is produced in an English version by Henry Reed. The play is directed by Peter Hall, the Arts Theatre producer, and the settings and costumes are by James Bailey. The play is presented at the Apollo Theatre by Toby Rowlandson Ltd.

Left: Alberto (Dirk Bogarde) receives a telegram from the postman (Tony Church) warning him of the imminent arrival of an unwelcome visitor-his city girl friend’s brother. (At the time of writing, Dirk Bogarde was temporarily absent from the cast owing to illness, when his part was played by Nigel Stock).

The setting of the play is a village in North Italy during a summer day early in the present century. It is, therefore, not surprising to see the local doctor in a vintage car. This young doctor (Michael Gwynn) is in love with Francesca. who, however, is determined to marry Alberto. But Alberto is going to a new job in the city next day and so the annual picnic in the mountains fixed for that afternoon is Francesca’s only chance of realising her objective.
