Botticelli in the Fire @ The Laboratory Theater of Florida
Mar 14 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

**REGIONAL PREMIERE!**
By Jordan Tannahill
Sandro Botticelli is the promiscuous life of the party! While painting his masterpiece The Birth of Venus, the plague rages outside and a conservative preacher is blaming the sodomites. Set in a 15th century that has skinny jeans and cell phones, will the famous
artist sacrifice his painting or his young apprentice, Leonardo da Vinci?
“…a celebratory mix of the sacred and profane that is sure to please.” – MD Theatre Guide
