Cave's plot takes the enmity between the Florentine Medicis and the Roman Borgias, and throws into the mix the radical Dominican priest, Girolamo Savonarola. Jonathan Gibbs | |||||

| Synopsis: | A juicy mouthful of friars and fires, popes and painters, harlots and zealots, all wrapped up in a struggle between spiritual darkness and secular splendour. Cave's sharply intelligent script ties its numerous conflicts into a pretty tight dramatic knot. - Nigel Cliff: The TIMES 10 November 1999 | |||||

| Synopsis: | Cave's haunting new play tells the story of three women: Augustus's sister Gwen John, his wife Ida Nettleship and his "muse" (read lover) Dorelia McNeill. Cave paints a touchingly vivid picture of satellite lives condemned by public expectation and personal weakness to live as "inspirations". - Sara Abdulla: Time Out November 1996 | |||||
