Visiting Mr. Green has been one of the great successes in Brazilian theatre history, seen by hundreds of thousands of theatregoers over the past 20 years. The original production opened in 2000, starring beloved actor Paulo Autran, who also did the translation, playing opposite Cássio Scapi, directed by Elias Andreato and produced by Alexandre Dórea Ribeiro. It played for a year and a half in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and on tour throughout Brazil. Paulo Autran won both the APCA and the Shell Best Actor award for his portrayal of Mr. Green. In 2005, a revival ran for another full year, including a tour of Portugal, again starring Paulo Autran and Cássio Scapin, then Dan Stulbach. A revival starring Sergio Mamberti and Ricardo Gelli, directed by Cassio Scapin and produced by Carlos Mamberti toured Brazil from 2015-2019, and was invited to be part of the Chekhov International Theatre Festival in Moscow in July, 2019. |
