In Beware Of Pity he relates the story of a young and inexperienced officer in the pre-WWI Austrian cavalry.
Those familiar with Zweig's extraordinary book will be amazed at how McBurney and his ensemble – who collaboratively devised the script – have condensed 450 pages into two hours, yet preserved the characterisations, emotional impact, metaphorical implications and, above all, the relentless narrative drive.

I haven't seen such wonderful writing in a long time.
