A drama of desire and jealousy, this scintillating play brings the concept of 'revenge' tragedy intriguingly into the twentieth century. The eternal triangle, as played out by Leone, Guido and Silia, has a chillingly unexpected ending. The play was performed to great acclaim, with Richard Griffiths playing Leone, at the Almeida Theatre in 1992.
