Published by Feltrinelli,\u00a0Baricco&#8217;s piece begins with\u00a0Tom Smith and Jerry Wesson meeting at Niagara Falls in 1902. Their names and\u00a0last names bear the future of an undertaking which is still to be lived.\u00a0And this undertaking will take place together with Rachel, a very young journalist who wants to write a memorable story. She needs\u00a0to\u00a0write about an act of courage, but before writing about it she must experience it. That is why Rachel enlists Smith and Wesson for the job, the most ramshackle pair of crooks and good-for-nothings she could have ever taken on her carriage of imagination and adventure. She\u00a0also needs a beer barrel in order to climb inside it and get\u00a0carried away by the\u00a0stream. Nobody has ever done that &#8211; nobody has ever gone down Niagara Falls in a beer barrel. The date is 21 June 1902. Will anyone ever be able to forget Rachel Green&#8217;s name? And is it really Rachel who tells that story?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Municipal Theatre of the city of Zilina, in Slovakia, will stage a\u00a0theatre performance of\u00a0Alessandro Baricco&#8217;s \u201cSmith &#038; Wesson\u201d (translation of a Frantisek Hruska text, directed by\u00a0Anton Sulik, and starring Brano Baco, Michal Tomsy, and Juliana Olhovad).
