WRITTEN BY Franco D’Alessandro
PRODUCED BY Suzanne Corso in the Fall of 2002 in NYC and 2004 in London

Roman Nights was first performed as a two character play which SAMCOR produced here in New York City at the Daryl Roth theatre in the fall of 2002 and in London in 2004, both accepted generously. Since then playwright/screenwriter Franco D’Alessandro has created the screenplay, which chronicles the intense, creative and tumultuous friendship that Tennessee Williams and Anna Magnani shared for 25 years. The backdrop of this film is the magical city of Rome in the 1950's and 1960's during the height of the glamorous la Dolce Vita era when it was bustling with great artists and bold-faced names. "Roman Nights" is a sweeping story which explores the perils and passions of artistic genius experienced by writer and actor. The film captures Broadway and Hollywood's Golden Age and the allure and excitement of post war Italy and delivers an inspirational and illuminating story that nourishes the mind, heart and soul.
