Description

Papa John Brook is a director of a Drama School. The students ask him to prepare, for their final essay, the famous musical "West Side Story". But the director oppose them that it's better to prepare something original, which might also be about history. His students don't believe history is important for an actor to be.So he writes a Final Essay entitled "Little Verona" to show them the importance of past.Studying the Drama the students will discover that "West side story" was inspired by Shakespeare's drama Romeo and Juliet; and that surely Shakespeare based his drama on the Arthur Brooke's Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet . And the great poet Brooke was inspired by three different sources: a novel composed in 1554 by Italian author Matteo Bandello; another story included in a collection called Il Novellino, by the widely-popular fifteenth-century writer Masuccio Salernitano; and finally by the Story Newly Found of two Noble Lovers, written by Luigi Da Porto and published in 1530; leaving apart the popular tale of Romeo and Juliet by William Painter's collection Palace of Pleasure which influenced even more directly the great dramatist from Stratford-upon-Avon. Now it's easy for them to understand that nothing can born from nothing and that books come from books (libris ex libris, we would say in ancient Latin language).The drama will also show that love is the most important thing in the world.The plot.

Bandello and Da Porto to better seal their covenant promise to marry Bandello's daughter Lavinia (played by Geena) with Da Ponto's son Paris. But Lavinia is in love with Mariotto (played by Mel), who is black guy; that's not a problem in 2002 but it's a great matter in the sixties. Lavinia's mother, Norma, accepts Mariotto but his husband Bandello surely doesn't. Norma buys a fake stuff to simulate Geena's death, in order to convince her father Frank Bandello to accept Lavinia's and Mariotto's affair.
