"The pills of Hercules" is a comedy riambientata in the hectic period of the 20s accompanied by fever of Charleston.

The history of this funny play revolves around two doctors, one of whom invented "the pill of Hercules", a portentous found medicine, extremely aphrodisiac.

But what would happen if the pill was used to win a bet?

If you then add a gallery of colorful characters and a loving wife the result will be highly effective and will give rise to a chain of hilarious events.

"The pills of Hercules" is a lively comedy, a mechanism dramaturgical high pace in which intrigues, misunderstandings and twists generate an explosive mixture of comedy.

The history of Viagra did not begin in 1986 England, but in the 1904 in France, thought and then processed by two playwrights, Charles Maurice Hennequin e Paul Bilhaud, under the name of "The pills of Hercules".

The text still shows a surprising freshness of dialogue and works like a bomb ticking, where at any moment the story is complicated and can produce situations so paradoxical and complicated that it seems impossible to the viewer, between a laugh and the other, that everything returns to normal, arriving to an happy ending.

Tredici attori professionisti e tredici realtà teatrali diverse che Vincenzo De Caro ha messo insieme per realizzare un progetto diretto come la visione di un film dove lo spettatore non smetterà mai di vedere dettagli su dettagli.

“Il mio obbiettivo registico - commenta De Caro – is always the same: from retail to get the word ".

Also in this work De Caro works as always with his right arm Angelo Shank who edited the images and the choice of music this time with Nicola Cavina.

Interesting collaboration with dancer Angelo Egarese the Florence Dance Center for the occasion has designed some choreographic moments for actors.
