Sunday Morning at the Centre of the World (2001) is Louis de Bernieres’ only published play. It appeared during a productive period between his major novels Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (1994) and Birds Without Wings (2004). The piece is a short dramatic monologue rather than a full-length stage production.
While de Bernieres is primarily known as a novelist, this work shows his willingness to experiment with different forms. The play touches on questions of faith, place, and human smallness in a large universe, themes that also run through his fiction. It was published as a slim standalone volume by Vintage.
