- Synopsis
- This wild epic celebrates the mad obsession and ambiguous triumph of Christopher Columbus. The charming Italian mariner and lover moves through the nightmare of his life, loves and struggles against authority and stupidity, confronting the wondrous and terrible fruits of his obsession. He is brought to judgment before the inquisition for the sins of lechery and pride. Kings, queens, mermaids, dead sailors, lovers, princes, fools and even madhouse inhabitants haunt and taunt the compromised hero. This play, commissioned for the 500th anniversary of Columbus's first voyage, is rich in language, action, character and humor as it explores the consequences of exploration, discovery, madness and creation.
