Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bondman Play The Bondman is written in five acts, but for the greater convenience of the stage at Drury Lane Theatre, it is to be played in four, the third and fourth acts being given as one. The scene of the first and second acts is laid in the Isle of Man, while that of the third and fourth is in Sicily, and the period is the middle of the nineteenth century, when the maritime relations of the two islands were closer than they are now. Lest the few (and not important) political incidents which stand as a background to the story of human passion, should seem to clash with history, the author apologises for any liberties he may have taken with fact in dealing with events that are supposed to occur in the last evil days of the Kingdom of Naples. Having said so much, it can hardly be necessary to tell those who know the author´s novel of the same name, that the drama (while preserving the original motive and the principal characters) is not so much a dramatisation of the story as an independent play on the same subject.
