"...PASSION (PBS TV) Television presentation broadcast on March 31, 2005 by PBS's "Live from Lincoln Center"Tony Award winners Audra McDonald, Patti LuPone, and Michael Cerveris star in a semi-staged version of a legendary musical theater piece, directed by Lonny Price and accompanied by a 56-piece orchestra. Based on the novel Fosca by Igino Tarchetti and the film Passion d'Amore by Ettore Scola, Sondheim's Passion, with a book by James Lapine, explores love and obsession through the story of Giorgio (Cerveris), an officer in the 1863 Italian army who carries on an affair through the mail with Clara (McDonald), a married woman. Then Fosca (LuPone), the colonel's sickly, wretched sister, becomes obsessed with Giorgio, and her passion begins to eat at his soul..." says Linus.
