BOTTICELLI IN THE FIRE

Produced by Downstage with the generous support of Hit & Myth Productions

A LOVE STORY, A REBELLION, A MIRROR TO OUR TIMES

From the mind of Jordan Tannahill, one of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights, comes a bold reimagining of Renaissance Florence. The past collides with the present in this extravagant and dangerous spectacle. In a world where artists party till dawn, text their lovers, and play squash in between revolutions, one man’s passion for beauty could ignite a political firestorm. As society teeters on the edge, can art survive the flames?
