Writer - Roberto Trippini Roberto Trippini is an Italian-born, US-educated writer, based in London since 1994. After seeing his first stage plays (Bad Samaritans Go Places, Botero Forever, etc.) produced on the London fringe, he wrote the libretto for the musical Jack Dagger showcased at Greenwich theatre by Musical Futures 2004. His first feature, the British indie romcom Are Your Ready for Love? (co-writer) was premièred at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and won the Best Screenplay Award at the Monaco International Film Festival. This was followed by the short film Road to Damascus (2007) starring Nick Moran. His most recent production as librettist and lyricist is the musical drama Too Close to the Sun at London's Comedy theatre in 2009. A success it was not, partly due to snarky reviews. His next musical, Sailor, (with songs and music by a 1980s pop group) is in the pipeline, and hopefully will fare better. |
