✦ Synopsis

SUMMARY:
"Mothers like me? We should be burned alive. We should be fed to the pigs, mothers like me." 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
