Description Aria Da Capo is a madcap morality play with screwball comedy and contemporary satire.

In The Drunken Sisters, Apollo ventures into the land of the three sisters of Fate who control the threads of each man's life, and here in disguise he tricks the sisters into releasing their death hold on King Admetus.

In Suddenly Last Summer, Catherine is traumatised by the mysterious death of her cousin on a holiday and tries to find out the truth.
