“But the star-turn was Alice Lussiana Parente who played BOTH Dromios and in BOTH languages. Zoom made it easy for the one actress to have some uproarious scenes with herself and even to be in group sections as both characters. Surely, in the 21st Century when CGI is de rigueur, this editing trick is accomplishable but the magic of seeing this tour-de-force performance lost no luster”

“Adding another layer of boldness to this piece was the decision to have both sets of twins played by the same two actors, with Gianluigi Calvani playing both Antipholus' and Alice Lussiana Parente portraying both Dromios. In this version, the twins from Ephesus both speak English and those from Syracuse both speak Italian, which adds a wonderful layer to the mistaken identity aspects of the play and gives both actors a chance to shine in two languages, something that is rare to see in a Shakespeare play. It's also really nice to see actual Italian actors portraying Italian characters.
Alice Lussiana Parente uses her strong background in Commedia Dell'arte to create moments of comedic gold -- watching her is such a delight.”

“Praise has to be given to the actors, of course. Although the Antipholuses and the Dromios are each dressed differently, both Calvani and Parente also imbue their two characters with different personalities, styles and physical performances. It becomes relatively easy to distinguish between the confident, slightly swaggering Antipholus of Ephesus and his more excitable, romantic brother. Similarly, Dromio of Syracuse bounces and dances in each of his scenes, in contrast to his somewhat more browbeaten and hen-pecked brother”

“However, the biggest highlight has to go to Gianluigi Calvani and Alice Lussiana Parente who played both sets of Antipholuses and Dromios. This is a big task for any actor playing twins and not only did they show the subtle, yet very real differences between them well, but it was clear that these actors had a fantastic repartee between them and were not afraid to take creative risks to make these challenging characters work to their ability”

“I found the two lead actors almost by accident. I DISCOVERED this girl Alice Lussiana Parente and she was exactly what I was looking for the role of the young archaeologist. Alice was excited about the project since the beginning and it was love at first sight for me: look, voice, she was perfect”

“At the beginning I posted a casting notice online but i couldn’t find what I was looking for, then one day, casually I found the perfect fit based on a face that really impressed me. The actress Alice Lussiana Parente was exactly what I was looking for the lead role. A young archeologist with northern features. She was immediatly enthusiastic about the role and it was love at first sight: appearance, voice, she was perfect, excactly how I’ve imagined Rachel to be”
December 2010, from TEATRO.IT by Roberto Mazzone
“The young Alice Lussiana Parente is impressive in the interpretation of all the aspects of the character of Corie: sexy, loving, anxious but also naive, messy: she believes in "happiness" with her husband and despite everything she still finds more exciting running barefoot in the park. She knows that in order to avoid the routine of everyday life, love must be protected and nurtured”
