In this visionary three-act play, Bryan de Justin brings to life the harrowing and transcendent story of St. Maria Goretti. Set in the pastoral fields of early 20th-century Italy, The Passion of Saint Maria Goretti is his first written play, unfolding as a poetic tragedy in the spirit of 19th- and 20th-century religious dramas.
The Passion of Saint Maria Goretti is written in a style inspired by Romanticism, Mysticism, and the Pre-Raphaelites, with undertones of Symbolist aesthetics. Its visionary and mystical nature will appeal to readers who seek spiritual transcendence in literature.
The accompanying illustrations, done in the style of British Art Nouveau, elevate its timeless nature and immerse the reader deeper into the spiritual world of de Justin's writings.
