This drama is considered the masterpiece of Portuguese romantic theatre and one of the masterpieces of our literature. The plot, inspired by the life of the 17th-century writer Frei Luís de Sousa, whose secular name was D. Manuel de Sousa Coutinho, is set against the backdrop of resistance to the Philippine domination.
The dramatic crescendo, marked by restraint, simplicity, and extreme sobriety, culminates in a catastrophe. Who are the true tormentors? Who are their victims? Was the tragic outcome inevitable?
