This American premier conceived and written by the U.K.'s Breach Theatre is based on surviving court transcripts, and restages the 1612 trial of Agostino Tassi for the rape of baroque painter Artemesia Genteleschi that gripped Renaissance Rome for seven months. Using translations of verbatim material, art history, and contemporary commentary, this riveting production reveals how one woman sought justice through her art to become one of her generation's most successful painters.
