Hamlet and Ophelia express the variety of their passion in a work which takes the form of an epistolary play in verse. Steven Berkoff's original drama charts the lovers' story beneath the surface of Shakespeare's play. With a language moulded by strength and tempered with tenderness, Berkoff's play is shot through with images of courtly love, sexual desire and intimations of future tragedy. The Secret Love Life of Ophelia was first performed at the King's Head Theatre, London, on 25 June 2001. The Italian translation gave way to two different performances: the first one staged by Michela Lucenti and Maurizio Camilli, scenes by Alberto Favretto (TeatroDue Parma) since 2012 and the second one staged by Michele Di Mauro and Carlotta Viscovo staged since 2014
