Beatrice Cenci

Shelleys legendariske skuespil fortæller den sande historie om den unge italienske adelskvinde Beatrice Cenci, der i årevis led under sin fars tyranni og seksuelle overgreb. Beatrice beder igen og igen den katolske kirke om hjælp til at stoppe farens overgreb, men hendes fars indflydelse på kirken er for stor til, at de griber ind. Til sidst træffer Beatrice en fatal og drastisk beslutning. Sammen med sin stedmoder vil hun forsøge at slå sin far ihjel.

Ladet med drama, vidunderligt sprog og dybe følelser skildrer Shelleys skuespil den tragiske historie om en modig ung kvinde og hendes afmagt over for de patriarkalske strukturer, som hun vokser op i. Hun døde i 1599 kun 22 år gammel. Shelleys skuespil udkom i 1820 og bliver anset for et af de bedste skuespil i det nittende århundrede.

Den engelske digter Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) bidrog i løbet af sit alt for korte liv med et væld af vidunderlig poesi og velskrevne eviggyldige essays til europæisk åndsliv i 1800-tallet. Skønt Shelleys enorme talent og radikale ideer kun vakte bestyrtelse og foragt i hans samtid, har hans ideer om pacifisme og fredelig protest sidenhen inspireret personer som Gandhi og Nelson Mandela, og hans poesi har haft umådelig indflydelse på både den europæiske og den amerikanske litteratur, ikke mindst på hans kone, Mary Shelleys, klassiker ”Frankenstein”. Shelley levede de sidste år af sit liv i mere eller mindre selvvalgt eksil i Italien, hvor han druknede i 1822, kun 29 år gammel.
