Inseparable travelling companions, Spiro Scimone and Francesco Sframeli were both born in Messina (Sicily) in 1964 and studied together at the school of dramatic art in Milan before meeting director Carlo Cecchi who cast them in his famous Shakespearean trilogy (Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Measure for Measure).
In 1990, they founded the company which bears their names. Spiro Scimone then began writing from a very specific viewpoint: "My writing is the writing of an actor. Of an actor because I am an actor and only an actor - the human - is the essence of the theatre."


Produced in 2006, La Busta (The Envelope) is the most recent of Scimone's plays. This tale of ordinary dehumanisation involves a man who, seeking to understand why he has received a summons to appear, will be swept up in a whirlwind whose strangeness amuses as much as it disturbs.
