«Felizmente Há Luar!» is the play by Luís de Sttau Monteiro, published by Areal Editores in paperback, in Portuguese.
Set in Portugal in 1817, the play recreates the failed liberal revolt of Gomes Freire de Andrade and denounces the repression that ends in his arrest and execution by Beresford's regime, with the support of the Church. Written under Salazar's dictatorship, it becomes a plea for freedom and justice.
Written in 1962 and described by its author as an «apoteose trágica», the play was banned until 1974 and premiered in 1978 at the Teatro Nacional, directed by Sttau Monteiro himself.
Will appeal to students of Portuguese literature and readers of historical and political theatre.
