Drama

It's the start of the 20th century, and Tuccio, resident playwright of a theatre repertory company offers the owners of the company his new play, "Illuminata". They reject it, saying it's not finished, and intrigue starts that involves influential critic Bevalaqua, theatre star Celimene, young lead actors and other theatre residents

VIBE

A charming, dialogue-heavy drama about the theatre world. It feels like a witty, slightly melancholic play brought to life, exploring the passions and politics behind artistic creation. Perfect for a contemplative evening.
