A mother, a daughter, and their lover hurtle towards tragedy in Verga's passionate Italian classic, first performed in 1894. This new version by David Lan premiered at The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon, in June 2000.
"Giovanni Verga, the Sicilian novelist and playwright, is surely the greatest Italian writer."-D.H. Lawrence
"David Lan is a genuine theatrical poet ... how lucky we are to have such ambitious, hypnotic writing in our theatre."-Observer
