‘The Gods of the Mountain’ at the Odescalchi Theatre

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 January 2009

Extract

AFTER THE one‐act Festival of Our Lord of the Ship, the opening‐night gala performance at the Teatro d'Arte concluded with The Gods of the Mountain by the Irish writer Lord Dunsany, whose work had never been performed in Italy before. In the early press releases about the future programme of the company, there was even talk about a second Dunsany play, A Night at the Inn, but this never reached production. There were also plans for Dunsany to visit Rome and give some lectures about his work: clearly, he was intended to play a large part in the work of the newly established theatre.
