A Heartfelt, Hilarious Celebration of Family

Written, directed, and performed by Frank Lotito, The Italian Divorce is delighting Australian audiences with its perfect balance of comedy, chaos, and heart. This crowd-pleasing production dives head-first into the quirks of Italian family life while tapping into universal themes of love, loyalty, and generational tug-of-war.

At the centre of the story is Lucia — a fiery, unforgettable matriarch brought to life by Rosanna Morales. Her razor-sharp humour and commanding presence keep everyone on their toes, earning roaring laughter night after night. Lotito shines as Bruno, joined by an exceptional cast including Davide Mollica, Louisa Mignone, Jeanette Coppolino, and Steve Mouzakis, whose neighbourly charm (and ouzo-infused wisdom) adds another layer of fun to the unfolding family drama.

With electric chemistry and seamless storytelling, the ensemble moves effortlessly between laugh-out-loud moments and scenes of heartfelt reflection. While deeply rooted in Italian-Australian culture, the play resonates with anyone who’s ever navigated family expectations, traditions, or the bonds that refuse to break.

After its opening night standing ovation, one thing is clear — The Italian Divorce is a rare gem: a comedy that keeps you laughing while reminding you of the beautiful messiness of life its
