PASSION
Hope Mill Theatre

It is Italy in 1863, a country tired from civil war, where we meet our heroine, Fosca; her fragile, raw nerves inflame her melancholic ills. Fosca is a love-starved woman whose shredding raw nerves are about to thin to a breaking point with the arrival of a sexy, handsome new soldier, Giorgio, but the dashing, chiseled Captain has a dark secret… he is stuck in an illicit, passionately clandestine affair in Milan with Clara — a beguiling beauty and a married woman with a child. This is only the foundation for this roller coaster ride of dramatic emotion… this explicit Passionate exposé of how love smashes disparate lives and changes everything. Forever.
