| Description: | The tragedy deals indirectly with the famous Sacco-Vanzetti case, in which two Italian immigrants with radical political beliefs were executed. Its plot follows Mio Romagna’s quest to prove his father’s innocence in the years after Bartolomeo Romagna is executed for a robbery and murder that he did not commit. Mio’s quest is complicated by his love for Miriamne Esdras and the difficult ethical decisions that result from his connection with her family. A highly political play, with reflections on faith, truth, justice, love, and duty, it frequently alludes to William Shakespeare and Judaic philosophies.
It won the first New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play (Best American Play) and is the basis for the 1936 film Winterset starring Burgess Meridith as Mio. [Suggest a different description.] |
