Description

Botticelli in the Fire by Jordan Tannahill is a gripping tale of love, survival and the power of art. In 15th-century Italy, the charismatic artist Sandro Botticelli finds his world turned upside down as plague sweeps through the city and the liberal elite face growing dissent. As Botticelli struggles to balance his devotion to beauty and pleasure with the harsh realities of survival, he must make a choice that will change him forever. Jordan Tannahill's hot-blooded queering of Renaissance Italy raises important questions about how much of ourselves we are willing to sacrifice when society comes off the rails. This powerful play is set against the vibrant backdrop of Florence during a time of great turmoil, and explores themes of identity, loyalty and the human condition.
