Book Overview

Isabeau: A Dramatic Legend, In Three Acts is a play written by Italian playwright and librettist Luigi Illica. The play was first published in 1917 and tells the story of Isabeau, a princess who is cursed by a witch and forced to live in a tower for seven years. During this time, she falls in love with a knight named Folco, but their love is forbidden by her father, the king. Isabeau must navigate the challenges of her curse and her father's disapproval in order to be with the man she loves. The play is a romantic tragedy that explores themes of love, loyalty, and fate. It is written in three acts and features a cast of characters that includes Isabeau, Folco, the king, and the witch who cursed Isabeau. Illica is best known for his work as a librettist for opera, and Isabeau is considered one of his lesser-known works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
