"Stefania Iannella cannot be praised highly enough for her editorial scrutiny and intellectual dedication to finally open up to us the exceptional writings of Giuseppe Vannicola. Her "Tetano metafisico" deserves to be translated in all major languages". (Marcel van den Boogert)
Essayist of Giuseppe Berto's writing technique:

Oncle Vania - Anton Čechov
Directed by Claudia Stavisky
Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord
Paris
2009
The critique (in French) was published the 25th of March 2009 by the Sorbonne University at the following link (which does not seem to be valid any longer):
https://www.paris-sorbonne.fr/fr/spip.php?article9302
« Cette pièce, qui s'ouvre par une captivante atmosphère raréfiée, où le charme exquis de l'ancien Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord et le chant lointain des oiseaux jouent aussi un rôle, se termine par la voix expressive d'Agnès Sourdillon, que j'entends encore résonner haute, sonore, comme les applaudissements interminables qui l'ont succédée. Ces applaudissements énergiques ont fait revenir plusieurs fois les acteurs sur scène et dans leur insistance tenace semblaient les rappeler à jouer encore.
En effet, une continuation semblait instinctivement nécessaire, non pas pour la satisfaction banale d'un happy ending, mais pour rendre justice aux sentiments étouffés et inassouvis des quatre personnages qui tout au long de la pièce en sont tourmentés. Face à eux, les amoureux malheureux, il paraît paradoxal que le seul couple effectif est celui d'un vieux professeur en retraite, qui ne semble pas accorder trop d'importance à l'amour, et sa jeune femme, amoureuse d'un autre homme. Ainsi, la fuite finale de ce prétentieux vieillard (d'ailleurs toujours plaintif) avec sa femme laisse chez les spectateurs un sentiment d'inachèvement, en étant le sceau de l'injuste et amère répression des vraies passions. »
