Coppia Aperta, Quasi Spalancata is a play by Dario Fo (1926-2016)[1] and Franca Rame (1929-2013)[2].

The original text

A play about a couple who test the boundaries of their relationship, written and first performed in 1983, when the Italian censors restricted it to audiences over the age of 18, since Rame had included her monologue Lo stupro (The Rape, inspired by her own rape) as a prologue.

Translations and adaptations

Translated into English as The Open Couple by Stuart Hood, published by Samuel French.

Performance history in South Africa

2000: Performed at the Baxter Theatre as The Open Couple with and Warrick Grier, who won a Fleur du Cap Theatre Award as Best Actor for his role as "Barry".
