Lorenzo Flaherty's Sardinian theatre debut in Cagliari

After a long career on TV and in the cinema, Lorenzo Flaherty's Cagliari theatre debut was highly anticipated by the public, given the particular bond with the Island of the interpreter of many successful television series, from "Voci Notturne" by Pupi Avati to "Un posto al sole", up to "Distretto di Polizia", "Incantesimo" and "RIS" in which he was the main protagonist for five seasons.

In the two performances at the TsE of Is Mirrionis in Cagliari, for the last appointment of the Season of Teatro Senza Quartiere organized by the Teatro del Segno directed by Stefano Ledda, Flaehrty was the protagonist in the play “L'Onorevole, il Poeta e la Signora” by Aldo De Benedetti, an ironic fresco of society between mischievous games of seduction and insidious games of power directed by Francesco Branchetti, with music by Pino Cangilosi and a production by the Foxtrot Golf Association.

In the spotlight is the Roman entertainer, who shared the stage with Isabella Giannone and Francesco Branchetti, in the role of Leone, a politician infatuated with a journalist, Paola, whom he courts assiduously but uselessly, because the woman skillfully manages to avoid his advances: after a romantic encounter, Leone discovers an unexpected and rather unwanted guest in his home, Piero, who turns out to be a poet and playwright, an involuntary witness to the unsuccessful evening and therefore in a position to weave a sort of blackmail.

A great acting performance by Flaherty who thrilled the audience thanks to an extraordinary ability as a character actor that was surprising given his previous roles, particularly in the police series that made him famous, in which he always played characters immersed in a very strong narrative tension and oriented towards thriller and suspense.

A very appreciated baptism that toured all over Italy, concluding the long tour, which lasted almost a year, right in his adopted land, Sardinia, to which he is very attached for sentimental and family reasons. At the end of the show Flaehrty wanted to greet the readers of L'Unione Sarda.
