But love is not easily crushed, and its ultimate triumph transforms the whole of society.

Peter Oswald was born in England in 1965. His original plays include the verse plays Allbright and Valadonama, and Fair Ladies At A Game Of Poem Cards, Augustine’s Oak, Ramayana, and Sha Kuntala. He has also adapted plays by Sophocles and Lorca.
