Italy is a country founded by Nonnas . They are the ones who raised you , who kept the family together and who adopted mystical solutions to cure every ailment . They are the true superheroes of the family unit and deserve to be celebrated . This production features two talented performers who regale the audience with their epic Nonna stories and compete for the honour of being voted as the winner of this hilarious ‘ Nonna challenge ’.
