DI ESPERIENZA
WORLD PREMIERE
by Matthew Ivan Bennett April 3-19, 2009 Studio Theatre | Rose Wagner 138 West 300 South, SLC
A dissection of the man, the myth and the self-doubt of Leonardo da Vinci, widely considered the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
Leonardo da Vinci comes face-to-face with three of his works of art—Judas Iscariot (from The Last Supper); La Gioconda (better known as the Mona Lisa) and Isabella d’Este (whose portrait he sketched but refused to complete the painting) to answer the question scribbled hundreds of times throughout the 20,000 pages of his notebooks: “Tell me if anything has ever been achieved.” DI ESPERIENZA is only the third play in the English language to be written about Leonardo da Vinci, coinciding with his 557th birthday (April 15).
Developed in partnership with The Leonardo and the Utah Shakespearean Festival's New American Playwrights Project.
