In Thankfully There is Moonlight! Sttau Monteiro issues an acerbic and universally relevant criticism of a society founded on political oppression and social inequality. Set in 1817 and based on entirely true events, Sttau Monteiro creates an allegory through which he is able to denounce the brutal political repression and crippling poverty of his own time. At the heart of his uncompromising play there is the remarkable story of woman's attempts to save her lover, General Gomes Freire de Andrade, from execution by a corrupt government, church and military (led by Marshall William Carr Beresford). Thankfully There is Moonlight! is an epic tale of courage and love against insurmountable odds.
