A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

1154, Oseney Priory, Oxford. When the first performance of The Play of Adam ends in tragedy, the author pens a grim warning for the generations that follow:

'BEWARE THE SINS OF ENVY AND VAINGLORY, ELSE FOUL MURDER ENDS YOUR STORY'

But his words are not heeded, and throughout the ages, bad luck follows all those involved in the play's production.

1199. A snow storm diverts two parties of travellers to the market town of Carmarthen, where an enigmatic stranger appears and suggests a staging of the play to alleviate tensions - but on the eve of the performance, the actor chosen to play Cain is found dead.

1361. The play is performed in the city of Ely and the townspeople fear the play has unleashed a demon upon the town after a gruesome discovery is made in the Cathedral.
And from Shakespeare's London to war-time Surrey, no matter the time or the place, each production always ends in disaster. Perhaps it is simply the curse of thespian rivalry that is to blame. Or does the story of man's first murder somehow infect all who re-enact it?
