More about the book

Set in Nova Scotia in 1819, this verse play reinterprets the historical figure of Beatrice Cenci, transforming her into the daughter of a white master and a black slave. Through this bold reimagining, Clarke explores themes of race, identity, and the complexities of power dynamics. The play draws inspiration from the fascination surrounding Beatrice's legend, engaging with the works of notable writers who have previously depicted her story.
