Description | Reviewer's Opnion (ATR): "An unweildy overwritten play by a new young writer of undoubted talent. The voluptuous text and strong action need a much bolder and imaginative theatrical treatment than this production gives"
From Performance Space database: "A play by Raimondo Cortese. "Lucrezia and Cesare" is a gradual slide into cruelty and pleasure. The two characters contrive roles to enact the obsessive desires to the furthest extremes, beyond any form of moral constraint., to the point where they consume each other in their murderous games." "They exist in a realm beyond any moral constraint, relishing in acts of cannibalistic sex and other such fantasies which provide them with immortal potency or at the very least, help to fill the void." |
