The play, was written shortly before his death in 1896 and printed while he was dying. Following Nobel's death the entire printed edition was destroyed, except for three copies.[1] The first surviving edition (bilingual Swedish–Esperanto) was published in Sweden in 2003 and in 2010 it was published in a bilingual Russian–Esperanto edition.[citation needed]
The first, and so far the only, production was at the Intima theatre in Stockholm in 2005.[2][3]
The play is based on the story of Beatrice Cenci, an Italian noblewoman, who was executed after a plot to murder her father in 1599.
