About This Book

A three-act drama set in working-class Naples and in Genoa that follows a small cooperative centred on a young inventor whose new machine promises industrial success. Tensions arise among workers and family—an elder disabled father, colleagues, and locals—over pride, fortune, and the practical consequences of mechanization. Scenes trace the cooperative's experiments, interpersonal conflicts, and journeys between workshops and the city, examining solidarity, the struggle for sustenance, and ethical choices about who deserves a chance to live and work. The play balances technical detail of production with intimate domestic moments, portraying moral dilemmas faced by workers adapting to change.
