A very special world premiere of a play discovered by Evan T. Cummings in his attic. Cummings's great-grandfather Giuseppe Morabito wrote the play. Morabito was a reporter and writer from Calabria, who often traveled between the US and Italy, and it seems he was one of the reporters for the trial of legendary folk hero Brigante Musolino. The play is presented in a double bill with Il Figlio dell'Abisso, another play written by Morabito.

Giuseppe Morabito (1882-1925) was a journalist for Mense di Liegi, la Nation belge di Bruxelles, Il Giornale d'Italia, l'Agenzia Stefani, Il Messaggero, L'Illustrazione Italiana. He was the founder of the League Italian-Belgique and was friends with several personalities such as Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, Antonio Salandra, Luigi Luzzatti, and Gabriele D'Annunzio.
