The Connecticut Theatre Company in New Britain is performing the play “Nine”, which opens on May 17, 2024 and continues through June 2nd.
The Theatre says that,
Nine is the story of a celebrated film director Guido Contini and his attempts to come up with a plot for his next film as he is pursued by hordes of beautiful women, all clamoring to be loved by him and him alone. Flashbacks reveal the substance of his life which will become the material for his next film: a musical version of the Casanova story.
The play is from book by Arthur Kopit. It features music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, and was adapted from Italian by Mario Fratti. Nine is based on Federico Fellini’s 8 1/2.
