SOMEONE FROM ASSISI | LUST

Saint Francis, toothless, almost blind, and nearing the end of his life revisits Assisi where he encounters three different women: Pica, a young girl with the same name as his mother; Mother Clara of Saint Damian’s Convent; and Mona Lucrezia - now a mad woman - with whom he had a love affair when he was a wild, willful young man. Saint Francis still seeks expiation for the “load of sin” with which he has offended God. This play on the Deadly Sin of Lust poses questions about the true meaning of love and about “the ideas of the Erotic as Destroyer and the Erotic as Creative.”
