Details

Manfred is the most unjustly neglected play of the Romantic age, banned from the stage in its author's lifetime. Byron's tragic hero sets out across the Alps on a lonely quest to escape the memories of an incestuous night of passion. Manfred is a thrilling, darkly erotic piece featuring achingly beautiful poetry and passionate desires. Running time 120 mins. Rehearsed Reading
