Mandolin wind
THE FIRST major stage production of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, based on the best-selling novel by Louis de Bernières is set to be staged in Glasgow, 25 years after the book was first published.
Captain Corelli’s Mandolin is an epic love story set on the Greek island of Cephalonia.
It follows the lives of Dr Iannis, his beautiful, strong-willed daughter Pelagia and the Italian Captain Antonio Corelli, during the Italian and German occupation of the island in World War II.
The novel was adapted into a film starring Nicolas Cage and Penélope Cruz in 2001.
Directed by Olivier Award nominee Melly Still and adapted by BAFTA Award nominee Rona Munro, the play will run at Theatre Royal Glasgow from June 25 - 29, 2019.
Casting is yet to be announced.
