The level crossing attendant is one of the most moving and enthralling novels by Andrea Camilleri. In collaboration with director Giuseppe Dipasquale, here’s a stage version (almost a musical comedy) of this "detective story" that depicts an archaic yet modern Sicily, which is comic and tragic at the same time. It’s about the pain of an unfulfilled maternity, and of the war, but it’s also an amused and mocking narration of Fascist Sicily of the Forties.
