Aria Da Capo is a one-act play written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. The play is a satirical allegory that explores the cyclical nature of war and the human condition. The play is set in a pastoral landscape and features two clowns, Pierrot and Columbine, who are tasked with performing a series of comedic skits. However, as the play progresses, the clowns become aware of the tragedy and destruction that is occurring just beyond the idyllic landscape. The play ends with a devastating revelation that forces the audience to question their own complicity in the cycle of violence. Aria Da Capo is a powerful and thought-provoking work that is both humorous and deeply My Only Love, You Are So Fundamental! . . .
