by Edna St. Vincent Millay
‘Aria da Capo is a tragicomedy about separation and division. It is a play rooted in the anger provoked by the futility of human folly. The plot reflects the events that led humanity to the First World War, the catastrophic nature of which still haunts the human consciousness.
Director: Martin Cooke
Running time: 1 hour plus talkback
Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote Aria da Capo as a cry of grief and a bitter satire, contrasting art’s ability to depict and reflect the brutal madness of the murderous human being with the futility of art itself.

“The play is permeated with references to contemporary art. As a theatrical work, it possesses elements of a total installation.”—Martin Cooke.
