Dramatis Personae

One of the most famous Italian books in history, The Betrothed was written by Alessandro Manzoni in 1827. The two main characters, Renzo and Lucy, are engaged to be married when Lucy tragically disappears. Little does Renzo know that Lucy has been kidnapped by a criminal, The Unnamed, feared by all the people of Northern Italy, where the story is set. Despite the threat of death and the fear of never laying eyes on one another again, Renzo and Lucy maintain a deep love for each other throughout the book that displays the true sacrifice and commitment of marriage. The book was recommended by Pope Francis to engaged couples in 2015 as preparation for marriage. - Summary by Woolly Bee Cast List: Cast Narrator: Mary J Don Abbondio: Eduardo Perpetua: Beth Thomas Lucy: KHand Renzo: Larry Wilson Agnes: rosalinger Don Roderick: bala Father Christopher: Eduardo Count Attilio: BeniaminoMassimo Tony: Tomas Peter Griso: Jason in Panama Bortolo: John Burlinson Giuseppe Ripamonti: Dillon McFarlane The Unknown: K.
