Inhaltsangabe

Kefalonia, 1941. Captain Corelli, an enigmatic young Italian officer, is posted to the idyllic Greek island as part of the Axis occupying forces. Shunned by the locals at first, he proves to be civilised, humorous - and a consummate musician.

The captain is soon thrown together with Dr Iannis's strong-willed and beautiful daughter, Pelagia, who discovers all of the complexities of love, and how it can blossom in the most unexpected and profound way.

Rona Munro has also adapted Elizabeth Strout's novel My Name is Lucy Barton, which opened on Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club in January 2020 in a production starring Laura Linney.
