Giacosa, Giuseppe
"Non dir quattro se non l'hai nel sacco: Commedia in un atto" by Giuseppe Giacosa is a one-act comedy written in 1872. Set in a country house at summer's end, the play follows Laura, a young widow who rents rooms, and Giovanni Nordi, her last remaining guest. Both proudly claim they will never marry, extolling the virtues of independence. But when unexpected news leaves each facing loneliness, their firm convictions begin to waver in surprising ways.
