| Description |
Betti '…takes us into the stark, inhuman, brutal atmosphere of meaningless political upheaval … and examines the way in which the corruption of the petty political boss and the weakness and terror of the woman who should be a queen, change the attitude of a prostitute from that of an animal trying like all the others to escape from death, to that of a tragic heroine, facing the inevitable end'. |
