Description Stunningly told by one of UK's most respected directors, Simon McBurney, with actors from teh famed Schaubuhne Berlin, Beware of Pity is an emotionally-gripping play about the treacherous nature of pity. How do we confront another person's suffering? Is one's desire to save another person an act of true empathy or merely a balm for one's guilt? These are the questions that haunt Beware of Pity, the only novel by Austrian writer Stefan Zweig.
