 \nIn the dramatization,the playwright recognizes the changing social roles ofmen and women with a particular reference to American society.This isexpressed with clarity in the denouement with the six women willing to en-tertain a forceful masculine posture and the men prepared to endure an auraof femininity.Yet,with Fratti,there is something very special in his percep-tion of humanity and the ever changing character of our Age.This play,ar-riving in a theater at a time when the American public is preoccupied withscandal,sex and the impeachment of a President,provides a lens'insight ofthe miasma of angst which is generated by the infusion of power,sex andpolitics.Fellini,who often felt uncomfortable with his work in a societywhich has all those elements,rises like a ghost from Mario Fratti's Passion-ate Women.In this play,there are Linda Tripp and Lucienne Goldberg withtelephone tapes but it could have been a camera.  \n—Violetta KumurdjievaTrud Daily,Bulgaria  \nThe play certainly suggests that a fair amount of rapacity was common toboth exploiter and exploited.These women quite enjoy filming Nino (andhis shadow writer)as they share his bed and elicit his secret desires.Here,too,is another of Fratti's typical turn-about comic endings in which the trick-ster is tricked.Victims become victimizers—and film makers as well!  \n—Nina Da Vinci NicholsFollia,New York City  \nThe title of this play,Six Passionate Women,is already inviting and excitesthe imagination.Every man or woman is interested in passion,sex,beautifulwomen.One can't help but think“Are there really six of them?are they allpassionate?They must be beautiful.How many men are they involved with?”And so,I went to see for myself.The story unfolds in a well constructed exposéof the life of a famous film director who gets involved with six interesting andintelligent women who are intertwined in the manipulation of his productions,stealing from his best friend,managing his life,and of course,every womanbecomes infatuated with this brilliant,successful film maker.  \nEvery man and woman should see this intricately constructed and fast-paced playwhere Mario Fratti displays his knowledge of a man's psyche,where he exploresthe many facets of women,and what their conniving minds are able to concoct andimplement,and where he displays his profound knowledge of the theatre.  \n—Catherine WallIl Ponte,New York City  \n# A Comedy about Creativity and Stealingby\n\nMario Fratti  \n# Six Passionate Women\n\nTwoActsbyMario Fratti  \nCopyright C1977  \nCopyright ◎ 1977 by Mario Fratti,all rights reserved.Caution,professionals and amateurs are hereby warned that Fratti's plays aresubject to a royalty.They are fully protected under the copyright lawsof the United States of America,and all other countries of the CopyrightUnion.All rights,including professional,amateur,motion pictures,recitation,lecturing,public reading,radio broadcasting,television andthe rights of translation into foreign languages are strictly reserved.Royalty for amateur,stock,repertory,off-Broadway,touring companies,first-class legitimate theatre,radio,television and motion pictureproduction will be quoted on application to Mario Fratti,145 West55th Street,New York,New York 10019.Samuel French,Publisher,45 West 25th Street,New York,NY 10010.  \nCopying from the books in whole or in part is strictly forbidden by lawand the right of performance is not transferable.Due authorship creditmust be given on all programs,printing and advertising for the play.  \nTHE PERSONS  \nNINO:in his late thirties;a successful Italian film  \nmaker:he wears a Fellini hat everywhere;  \neven in bed  \nWILLIAM:in his early thirties;Nino's screenwriter  \nMARIANNA:Nino's wife  \nANNA:her best friend  \nVALIA:a beautiful actress;a mother figure  \nSONIA-another beautiful actress;younger  \nMrs.GUNMORE:in her early fifties;an Americ","cbCaigNkSY57A9hn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigNkSY57A9hn","pdf",2887324,"English","# Outline\n## Dramatis Personae\n## Setting and Stage Directions\n## Act I","[{\"question\":\"Who are the main characters in the play?\",\"answer\":\"Nino is the successful film-maker; William is his screenwriter.
