SOFONISBA
(Workshop Production)
by Callie Kimball
directed by Sally Wood
starring Abigail Killeen, Sean Ramey and Marjolaine Whittlesey
Italian Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola traveled to Spain to be court painter for Philip II for twenty years. The play opens with Sofonisba on the ship to Spain, and closes with her on the ship returning home to Italy. It explores her 20 years in the Spanish court as King Philip's prized portrait painter and confidant of 14-year-old Queen Isabel.
This play explores and imagines the negotiations and sacrifices she might have made in the service of her art, and how she navigated the tricky waters of court politics as an unmarried woman. A play about the hunger for creation--of birth and of art--and what it costs.
